My Homalomena rubescens/ emerald gem/ qian nian jian, which was rescued
from outside of a house, abandoned by the previous owner after they moved house.
The plant has grown much bigger after about 6 months.

Surprised to find it flowering this morning!

Embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ― Albert Einstein
