welcome home, spring.
“is the spring coming?” he said.
“what is it like?”…
“it is the sun shining on the rain
and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

almost.
it was one of those march days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:
when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. – jacques yves cousteau
and so
we went to the sea
and it was
everything
and more
moving sun
calm waters
boats afloat
seals playing
fish tacos and ice cream
on the beach
and
friends
and
stories
and
water
and
shore
alive
with color
and
changing light
laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
– victor hugo

the sky is the daily bread of the eyes. ~ralph waldo emerson
‘neath bright blue sky
upon wide open fields of snow
with no end in sight
nothing to do
but to run and to play
on such
a fine
and lovely
winter’s day.

nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference nowhere.
– blaise pascal
Mar1
wintering.
even the fairies
have settled in
for a long
winter’s nap
still tucked in
covered
by
a soft
blanket of snow
with
just
a
lemon feather
and
a few
festive trappings
above
reminding us
of
the spring
below
and
yet
to come.

“perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath,
for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.”

may your song never cease.
a few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. but though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.
