Preservation

Meera Sethi

Today was my last day at the museum; I'm trying to make more room in my schedule for writing and editing work, and volunteering was a big commitment. It was our annual Mineral Madness festival so I spent the morning at a craft table making pet rocks with kids; a nice last shift. Whenever I looked up from the rocks I saw that wonderful whale skeleton (and several others) above my head.

As I walked towards my car I saw a low tree laden with impossibly huge buds.
