orchid.
never
in spite of all efforts
have i been able
to keep an orchid alive
somehow
in spite of a pot cracked
on the very first day
and
fingers crossed
trying to care for it
this tiny orchid
has survived
even thrived.
a surprise new flower emerges.

sing me a song.
“It is the first mild day of March:
Each minute sweeter than before…
There is a blessing in the air,
Which seems a sense of joy to yield
To the bare trees, and mountains bare,
And grass in the green field…
We from to-day, my Friend, will date
The opening of the year.
Love, now an universal birth,
From heart to heart is stealing,
From earth to man, from man to earth:
—It is the hour of feeling.’
~William Wordsworth (1770–1850), “To My Sister”

leaping.
my spirit animal.
—
“today is an ephemeral ghost…
a strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not “exist.”
in mundane terms, it marks a “leap” in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!
but this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability…
a day of unlocked potential.
will you or won’t you? should you or shouldn’t you?
use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself.
take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!”

tell their stories.
after sledding on a beautiful snow day
grandies and neighbors
gather around the table
to share a large pot
of ramen, laughs, and stories.

snow day.
“a snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky,
unbidden,
and seems like a thing of wonder.”
