It is late Spring and our vege garden looks very healthy. I'm frequently observing plants I've put into the ground and watching their progress. It is very unlikely they will get into mature age considering all the factors against them - drought if I do not water them, kids running and jumping around, birds galore which sometimes look hungry and sometimes just wrestle with plants for pure fun out of ripping them apart, and have I mentioned ducks and worms? Despite all that most of the plants survive and bloom and produce something. Which you could consider a success but is there any difference from their point of view? Eaten by Human or by Bird? Is frying pan death any different from birds beak? Or being eaten alive in a fresh summer salad? Is some dressing nicer to die in than other?
While you wondering about these questions and watering your garden here is something to listen to. It was released pretty much when I was born so depending on your birth year you may or may not like it.
Theory of Obscurity I find very appealing. It states that "an artist can only produce pure art when the expectations and influences of the outside world are not taken into consideration."
