Deepest joy of green:
springtime, and every year it seems like such a long wait for it to reach me - it's April, and warmer days are finally here, longer, and I bask in the extra light that's given, spending more time on my walks and runs, grateful to lose the layers of clothing that served me through the winter and that I'm now able to give myself more fully to the sun. I truly love this time of year, being right on the cusp of the world literally exploding in its deepest joy of green, and with the splash of flowers arrayed brightly throughout the verdant landscape.
earth shows me it's alive.
winter's been more difficult these past few years, harder for me to gain any lasting warmth and harder still to experience any joy. Spring has become even more significant to me now, bringing a meaningful warmth that reaches past bones and into soul, my interior landscape awakening in its own deepest joy of green, a verdant display that matches what the season brings.
springtime shows me I'm alive.
and so every day I note the hue of earliest buds and first leaf reaching for that extra sunlight. I am displayed by their colors, expressed through a flower's blossom, my soul warmed by spring's breeze even as it still holds a bit of winter in its touch. I've emerged through a cold depth that seemed to hold so very little color, it's springtime now, sunlight having extra hours...
and the earth shares its deepest joy of green.
