I am
maybe one of the only ones I know that is sad to see winter leave. I am a
winter lover. In a mere 10 days it will
be Spring *on the calendar.* J Fortunately
here in Colorado we continue to get snow through the month of March, and if
we’re lucky into April; this year to make up for the severe drought we have
been in. We got a snow fall Saturday
that was magical. I wish I had gotten pictures.
The pictures below are of the snow melt today. Sigh…
Reminders that all things pass away; all things transition, transform
into their essential nature, and the never ending cycles
of life continue. J
“I would like to live like the
river flows,
carried by the surprise of my own
unfolding.”
John O’Donohue
“The same stream of life that runs
through the world
runs through my veins night and day
in rhythmic measure.
It is the same life that shoots in joy
through the dust of the earth
into numberless waves…”
into numberless waves…”
Rabindranath Tagore
There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently than
ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers….
inseparable from love…”
ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers….
inseparable from love…”
Picture and word flow here melt my heart! x

DeleteI'm happy to see and feel your tributes to winter. Thank you, Christine.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris :)
DeleteA nice reminder that everything passes away / is reborn at every moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks David :) And thanks for the reminder of the rebirth in every moment part :) I'm still hibernating :) lol
DeleteLovely. I too adore winter but need all the seasons and changes.
ReplyDeleteJohn O'Donohue is is so eloquent as are your photos and graceful meanderings. Andrea
Thank you Andrea :) I'm sure I'll adjust, as I always do :) lol
DeleteMe too— sad to see winter go, but also winter weary! So I'm enjoying every (weary) moment of cold, drippy, slushiness. Of pale, tired body. Of feeding birds and squirrels and fox so they can nourish new babies in this silently thunderous turning of season. What IS IT? Spring, for me, is SO powerful, so intense, it leaves/finds me wobbly kneed, weak and in awe every time.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you are winter weary! Minnesota really gets tough winters! We are mild compared to much of the country, usually brown most of the winter with the occasional snow fall to cheer things up a bit :) I love the transition time between seasons as well. They say we may get rain this weekend and temps near 70! Boom - Spring :)
