Spring?
Spring, where is it? And what does it mean when we don’t get our flowers and fruits because of the cold? I’m creeped out by our lack of spring this year. There won’t be any “heady” perfumes from our lilacs, and the peonies are wilted on the ground.
I could almost go into a metaphor for life, but that seems pretty depressing………….albeit probably true.
With all the news lately about global warming and ice caps down…….I saw the pictures and I’m still reeling…….here it is in our own back yards. And what will we do if we can’t grow our food, or for most people, what will they do when the trucks don’t bring in the food because there isn’t any to spare.
Rachel something wrote a book many years ago called Silent Spring. It isn’t that yet, but it feels like a pre-cursor.
The times that so many have written about for so many years are creeping into reality. It just isn’t happening overnight, but it is steadily happening right in front of our eyes.

I have found that change is constant. I know in my own life that many seasons have come and gone. I have changed both physically, emotionally and spiritually.
My own body has global warming written all over it. It retains the fuel that I am not burning.
It reminds me of the green house effect. The carbon monixides are causing the earths temp to rise as it is not able to metabolize all that “junk”. Therefore, global warming. Changing temps and changing seasons.
The more I resist it, the more it persists.
It really is all about acceptance.
“It is what it is” and “All is well”
Thanks for your honesty Sue….We all love to hear you and find your words to be our truths as well.
Very enlightening sharing on this. I do appreciate the honesty from both of you and listening to the words I am reading here allows me to to explore where I am and why??
Today is Wednesday April 11th and I just got in from sittting my the screened gazebo outside. I always go outside the first thing in the morning, sometimes as early as 4:30 a.m. This morning it was 5:30 and it was snowing at a pretty fast pace. As I sat down in to enjoy the morning energies coming in the sounds of the city were quiet still and I had a decision to make as far as the feelings of this unusual cold and darkness that was around me. I found myself automatically wanting to complain and bitch about what the heck was happening again………………. but decided to allow myself the pleasure of the moment I was in. ONE lone Robin came out of the darkness and sounded his spring tune to me in the snow falling. Then I noticed I could actually hear the snow falling on things surrounding me, then a cardinal came in to say good morning under the unusual weather conditions. Then I heard the Chickadee coming in loud and clear inviting me to have a good morning also. WOW !!!!!!! This beautiful sign of nature that came to me in this nasty weather perked me right up when I focused on the delights that seemed to be hidden in the snow and darkness. These beautiful natural energies are not giving up on spring……. AM I?? Right then and there I thanked my spirit for allowing me to remember I can find that mustard seed in anything if I keep watering it daily. It might take me some time to remember to water it……….might take someone like you to remind me to water it………. but I do in fact feel better after I get off my butt and actually start to fill up my watering bucket and so it. I actually am going to look for the most simple things today and appreciatd them instead of letting the carbon monixide poisoning take me over.
Thanks to both of you
