“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.”
John Muir
Allow yourself to drink in the strength
of our spring air,
and the time
for your spirit
to breathe, to become
quiet again.

As the March wind blew through the pine trees,
I held on to my hat and realized
I love walking in the wildness,
the tossing of tree limbs,
the roar of spirit
within in the abandonment of ice,
and the freedom we call
spring.

Realizing we are accepted and loved we put on
the adornment of spring
our spirits lifted, filled
with a sense of yes
the future is yet brighter,
than we had ever imagined.

Each leaf takes its turn, dancing
in the sunlight, proclaiming
the sweet victory of hope
in the affirmation
of spring.

As the embedded becomes visible and the Earth is reborn
we recall our dreams of new life
and the fire within
all that lives.

In waves of cloudflow, birdsong travels
to a future time, sending notes
and prayers
to our coming spring.
And Earth begins her warming.

When a cherry blossom stuns us with her beauty
capturing our hearts
we know the healing
is not far away.
Do you feel loved today?
