I can’t speak for those in the northeast or the way up north, but down here in the south, things are heating up. On a walk yesterday I saw buds on the trees that were almost in bloom! How do the seasons come upon us so quickly, without our even noticing? With only 8 days left until the vernal equinox, I guess it’s no surprise. Although, spring always feels like a bit of a miracle to me and therefore I enjoy relishing in its newness.
From “Spring is like a perhaps hand” by E. E. Cummings:
Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere) arranging
a window, into which people look (while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here) and
changing everything carefully
I’ve already gotten the urge to do some spring cleaning after what seems like a long and dormant winter of low productivity. I plan to find a little bit of time this spring to follow through on cleaning out the old – whether it’s dust, unused items around the house, or tired images on the wall. A little bit of attention given to these items once is year is worth the effort!
