SPRINGTIME


Our front door decoration in honor of the Spring season. 
It's only now, after 29 years on this planet, that I am becoming fully aware of the infinite beauty and wonder that the Spring season gifts us with. During my walk today around the neighborhood where we live, I encountered life springing forth all around me and was overcome by the magic of it all. Here is a poem I recorded and some of the photos I took to capture the feeling.

A Magical Dance

The branches dance in the crisp April wind
While the sun shines bringing the colors forth
The flowers and the leaves slowly open up
Embodying the creative genius of the universe
Leaving the observer in awe of their intricate beauty, vulnerability and resiliency 
A magical dance unfolds
Between the wind, the sun, the flora and my being

it is Spring,
full of Promise
full of Beauty
full of Light
full of Wonder 
 
A mystery at once inexplicable and yet so satisfying.
