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”

the layers of snow and ice
the remnants of winter
not yet spring
the river emerges
never ceasing to flow.

“be like a river. be open. flow.

a summing up.
my favorite season begins.
