peeking at spring...

so happy to be behind the stroller again!  

it is simply amazing to me how all of a sudden the earth knows it's spring. last week we had feet of snow and this week the green life is emerging and the birds are back chirping, "ok! it's that time again!" people are out on their porches - smiling. i truly love this time of year. as the landscape starts to explode into green, i feel more alive. i notice my creativity is high and in turn, my spirits. 


i found this exerpt on a blog that i follow. so fitting for these past few days.

Do not be surprised that the return of the light lifts your spirits. Do not be surprised that warmth on your back calms you and makes you glad. Feel your spirits lift as the sun rises higher in the sky: this is part of you, this snaky gladness, part of who you have been for a million years. Find the warm places; do not expect them to come to you. When you find them, stay there and be still. Be still and watchful. In this quiet, taste the air. Lick up the taste of it. Listen. Listen with the full length of your body against the ground."
