Summary
Pansy learns how to fight battles she cannot win; Lavender learns how to say no when it matters. They’re flowers, sure - but they’re perennials. They have time to figure it out.
I sometimes wonder if that is what Krishna meant—
Among other things—or one way of putting the same thing:
That the future is a faded song, a Royal Rose or a lavender spray
Of wistful regret for those who are not yet here to regret,
Pressed between yellow leaves of a book that has never
been opened.
-T S Eliot
