wildflowers


this postcard arrived today from a friend who works at the ayaori post office, my dear local p.o. in tono, iwate prefecture. both painting and poem are by the paralyzed artist hoshino tomihiro, who is very popular in japan. i'd just been looking again at the late lady bird johnson's excellent book, wildflowers across america, when the card came.
