it is still my favorite."

And so, I will.

I originally told this little story on Day #258, April 2013.

Several decades ago, Demura Sensei pointed to a geranium 
on his desk ... and said to me, "you like that flower".

 I said, "But Sensei, that's a geranium",

with the same intonation as if it were a weed.

"Yes, you like geranium!".

"Oh Sensei, can't I be a rose, or an orchid ...

or a tulip?" I pleaded.

"No,  you like geranium!".  I was crushed. 

I wanted to be something elegant or beautiful.

Later Sensei said, "No, that good. 
They don't need attention & they bloom easy."

And so, I guess I am a geranium.
