Green growth, the feel of the earth, tree buds, grass, roots and shoots, life bursting and making its presence known, a recent bloom, the divine smell of lilacs, a fleeting ephemeral, the robust intention of the all- mighty and long-lived rhubarb plant, the tender seedlings trying with all their might.
Ahh, the joy, the privilege, the prayer of it all….
I think, truly, Frank Llyod Wright said it best…
Please, pay attention, witness it, get down on your knees and look.
Life, it’s happening….right before your eyes!

You said what I’ve been feeling. Yesterday was one of those days so bursting with life that it felt almost unreal. Between the the intoxicating fragrance of the lilacs and the apple trees in full blossom, audibly buzzing with bees, I spent the day happily planting vegetables with a semi-delirious smile on my face. I could hardly come inside to eat. It really does not get better than this.
It is a wonderful time of year, witnessing all the birth and growth. And soon….fresh spinach and greens in abundance! yeeha!
Wonderful sentiment! And I’ve always loved Wordsworth’s “Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”
So many of our scholars hit it right on the nail !
