Supported by its spiraling and clinging tendrils, this plant is determined to grow onward and upward. It doesn't know how easily the human snippers could curtail life or send its growing in a very different direction, especially since it is growing on the 'wrong side' of the dividing fence.

Divided - as much as we may want to believe in a unified front, we are often divided by differences of thought or value. Divided - as much as we may want to believe that all are equal, we are separated by a variety of resources and freedoms. Divided - as much as we may want to believe that opportunities are universally available, a look around reveals otherwise. Divisions, though, come open and closed. When open, as this fence, there is room for interdependence and interaction; thus, room to grow despite the division. Freedom Park, Naples, FL
