It has truly been two weeks of growth and transformation. There’s no stopping nature now as we dive joyfully into summer.
We welcome the expansive season. A time of clarity: the light glows, sparkles, laughs. The scenery gurgles and chirps, green tendrils pushing toward the sun. Everywhere, delicate transparency captures the crystalline glow, cradling it softer than a torch.
There can be no doubt that winter is on its way out and that spring is here to stay. Even for those in the more northerly regions, I’m sure that there is a sense that the world is heading in one direction – and that direction is towards warmth and light. Occasional snow showers be damned.
Wintering Insects Awake (March 5 -20) always seems like the time of year when everything shakes from its dozing. We have been gradually stirring from our winter slumber since February, our eyes peeping open as we become accustomed to the light, and by mid-March, the world is truly roused (compelled!) to action.
