Happy High Spring 2022!

2022-03-20 /

We’ve been through a lot over the past two years. We’re still going through a lot.

And yet, the sprouts rise and the buds swell, the flowers bloom and the birds return.

Spring is always a hopeful time, a time to gaze forward with anticipation and optimism. For me this year, I am so close to having a genuinely wonderful life. I just need a job, and I have a second interview for a truly great one in two days.

So I am imagining what life with that job could look like. Imagining survival fear waning, and joy swelling with the growing year.

Wherever we are, whatever our circumstance, if we have any future at all there is hope for some joy in it. This Spring reminds us. I wish you much joy of the season and unexpected loveliness in your life.

Happy Equinox!
