Quote #1181 - #ComeSpring

14 Apr, 2025

COME SPRING


"Look at the birds. Even flying
is born
out of nothing. The first sky
is inside you, open
at either end of day.
The work of wings
was always freedom, fastening
one heart to every falling thing.
"
Li'Young Lee
"One Heart"


Brusque erratic Vernal Equinox.
Newly meaningful and reflective Passover.
Upcoming still, Easter and the Rites of Eostre.
All stories of renewal, revelation,
redemption,
resurrection,
rebirth.

We may feel them all beyond our grasp
right now
as much denied our fingers' reach
as feels the sun and those delicious
spring breezes,
but the natural world holds its own trajectory
and we must learn from its cycles
and its fortitude.

Return to us, warmth and light,
long days,
migrating birds.

Reveal yourselves, new buds,
first leaves,
animals rubbing your eyes
from the long winter's sleep
inside your burrows,
evolving insects
emerging from your cocoons.

Return, reveal,
renew, open,
feel the bittersweet crisp winds
ready to carry you through whatever is to come.

Whatever is to come,
take wing and fly ...
