Nature is My Canvas
Imagine taking something smaller than your fingernail, planting it in soil, watering it, and watching as the first signs of a tiny green shoot break the surface. You watch it grow almost indiscernibly each day. One day you realize the tiny seed you planted has turned into a 6-foot sunflower. It’s awe-inspiring to see the growth of a plant and support it to reach its full potential. Of course, you can never own a plant; they belong to the birds and bees and the sun. But you can nurture it and tend it and enjoy the beauty that it creates.

What is Evolution For?
Author's preface: This story was originally spiked by Vocal's censors and not approved for publication due to "religious content" As I have pointed out over and over again Vocal's censorship policies are absurd, unjust, and unsustainable and they must end eventually. However, until that day, if one wants to continue publishing here, one must abide by the will of the censor. I have "adjusted" the original article to remove any "religious content", or at least, I think I have. It is impossible to know for certain as what exactly qualifies as "religious content" is wildly debatable which is an example of just one of the reasons Vocal's censorship policies are unjust. In any event, read on and see if you can spot the altered content.

The flower garden
Pink, gold, blue, orange, they all whirl around me, enthralling me, demanding my undivided attention to their dazzling show. I tumble and move and sway and dive and land on the plush grass beneath me, solid, supportive, and squeeze my eyes shut. Vivid red spots dance before me as my chest heaves, gasping in the heady smell of earth.
