In this episode, we share a story inspired by the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ plant, which is a life form whose survival is as effortless as breathing, no matter what habitat it takes root, be it a tropical forest or a climate-controlled living room. While Zamioculcas is more than prepared for the direst of circumstances, it is, at heart, a pragmatist, and as such, it is highly aware that even the most resilient of creatures will, at times, confront some force they cannot resist. Preparedness can only take one so far, and anyone who’s been around as long as the ZZ plant knows that the only thing one can reliably expect is, of course, the unexpected. Learn more about it below.
