Life within death.
Physalis alkekengi, or the Chinese/Japanese Lantern, blooms during Winter and dries during Spring. Once it is dried, the bright red fruit is seen. The outer cover is a thin mesh that held the flower petals, seen in golden brown color.

Being Black didn’t slow me down. Roles weren’t there in the first place, for anyone. I generated my own work. Most of the roles I’ve played could have been played by anyone of any race. I could probably have generated more work for myself, but I’m lazy. - Whoopi Goldberg

“She does not knowHer beauty,She thinks her brown bodyHas no glory.If she could danceNaked,Under palm treesAnd see her image in the riverShe would know.But there are no palm treesOn the street,And dishwater gives back no images.”Nina Simone 

leafreitas:

“She does not know
Her beauty,
She thinks her brown body
Has no glory.
If she could dance
Naked,
Under palm trees
And see her image in the river
She would know.
But there are no palm trees
On the street,
And dishwater gives back no images.”

Nina Simone
