For many of us, with the rebirth of spring comes the season of pollen, of allergies, of hayfever, of sneezing and congestion. Our interdependence with nature is sometimes a struggle.
What is making you struggle today?
Blossom
“Beside the porch step
the crocus prepares an exaltation
of purple….”
-from the poem “Mud Season,” by Jane Kenyon
What do you need to shout an exaltation to the world about? How do you do that?
Sunlight
Sunlight is used by plants to create food from carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Sunlight warms our bodies and helps us make Vitamin D. As the days in the Northern Hemisphere lengthen, let us all, everywhere, appreciate the warmth of sunlight.
How does the natural world provide you comfort and sustenance?
Growth
Growth is beautiful and necessary, and it is sometimes hard. Growth requires us to push outside of our comfort zones and experience something new.
How have you been made uncomfortable by growth?
Sprout
The smallest shoots of growth remind us of the cycles of life and provide hope for something beautiful yet to come.
What conditions do you need to manifest something new?
