RECOGNITION

It was Lawrence who noticed the three little crocuses, first flowers of the spring, an uncommon observation for a guy who cares little for flowers. And a good thing it is that he noticed them, for now they lie buried under a foot of snow. I don’t know if crocuses care about being noticed. Possibly they only flower to please themselves. But a little positive recognition never does any harm. It means all the more when it comes from unexpected places.
