“The Tireless Gardener”

[T]his man lives close to me, and has a small patch of earth he is relentlessly tending to; he presumably is retired and just wants his little patch of NYC to be green. I’m not sure why; he doesn’t look like he wants to talk, but nothing ever grows. He is often like this. I hurt when I see him. If we can grow, as people, as the beholders of seeds, of bearers of time, what is there?

Congratulations Lydia on winning a free book of your Instagram pics from Keepsy.
