Throw something, grow something.
You can't fix the year. You can't fix the news. You can throw these balls at a patch of dirt and trust the bees to do their part. That's not nothing.
Eighteen seed balls rolled from recycled paper, which sprouts faster than the clay kind, and a wildflower mix the bees and butterflies actually want. For the days you keep showing up when it would be reasonable not to. You toss them where the world needs more flowers, and a month or two later, bees and butterflies show up to the chaos you started.
Functional rage. Productive spite. A small act of stubbornness in the direction of life.
How to use them
Throw. That's it. Bare soil is best, spring or fall is best, but honestly the point is the throwing. Plants have been doing this without you for millions of years.
Gifting
This is the gift for the friend who just got the diagnosis, the divorce papers, the layoff email, the text she wasn't expecting. It says I know, and it gives her something to do with her hands.
Hand-rolled in Cleveland with seeds, paper pulp, and more personal investment than is probably healthy. I sit on the board of a wildlife rehab center. This is what that looks like when it comes home.
