Hibiscus

Someone has passed away from place where I work. Funeral took place today. I wont be never again passed by this person in the corridor.

Death is so obvious and so old thing on Earth. Everything was told already about it. That is why maybe silence is the best reaction to that fact.

Some traces are still visible, like one of the hibiscus she discovered in northern Australia. It still bears her name just like all Banksias around. The genus name honours the English botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who collected the first Banksia specimens in 1770, during James Cook's first expedition.

I remember my last short visit in Poland in September 2008. One day I was talking to my grandma and nothing looked like she is is just about to die. Few days later I took part in organizing her funeral. People are like dreams. God is probably the one who is dreaming this dream.
