Heralds
The cardinal flew into the branches of the mock cherry tree, Its branches black against the blue, It is not yet Spring, But the world blooms with possibilities.

The goldenrod waved in the breeze. Filled with possibilities and bees.

Possibilities
The web sparkled in the sunlight, Tender strands of silk suspended over the ditch… Looking through in the water from yesterday’s rain I see New life spawned. A family of tadpoles swam in the glistening. Possibilities.

Shells
The Newly Bright Green whispers to me on gossamer wings – Leaving behind what she no longer needed. All that remained was a shell on the lintel, Leaving us to ponder the mysteries of transformation.

I open my car door, And there in the tall grass Is a tiny lion. Everything reminds me of You.

DANCE
Dance with Joy Dance with Hope. Dance with Love. Dance with Peace. Dance with Possibility. But where ever you are, whomever you are with, DANCE. (stomp, leap, twirl, sleep. repeat.)

flight
suddenly three crows flew across the blue in a straight line – like an arrow or a crow- which of course, the were. What urgency is this? What compels you forward?

no matter what sounds you make when you pray… PRAY!
