It is better to be swamped by lilacs than by work, no doubt about that.  Still, at work you might feel you can do something;  with lilacs you are helpless.

I hope this picture shows the way the lilacs feel.  Its how I feel – might be in motion, might be out of focus (maybe that comes to the same thing in the end.)  Then, I maybe rest for a moment or my point of view catches up to where I am and something is clear.

But not for long.
