The Xerophyte, A personal essay

For curious followers of emergent Kootenay Literary Arts comes The Xerophyte,  a lyrical exploration of a woman's tangled relationship to love, death, life and career.
I’m not a thirsty kind of person. Hungry? Yes. Thirsty? Not so much. And, though the lakeshore is my true home, some days, I really fancy myself a xerophyte from the Greek xeros for dry and phuton, meaning plant. Drought-tolerant plant: succulents, aloes, cacti, sansevierias, jades, me.
