It’s a toss up between sunrise and twilight. I love the and fresh potential of the early morning and appreciate the energy of the sunset calm of the darkness that follows.
- If you could choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why?

Plants.

Chicory because it thrives out in the wild. And I love the color of its blue flowers.
