Found It

The "weeds" bit is in the first section, but the whole thing is worth reading--all about the move from chaos to order. Water's big, too, going from mud and bog, to holding life, to supporting a boat with a rower, to the final image of water in a vase "still holding and feeding the stem of the contained flower." Fabulous. I think of this a lot in spring; the last part in summer, too, going outside in the mornings with "To have the whole air!" in my head.
