I love Spring! I love seeing the trees budding in that beautiful yellow-green... the same color I get when I mix cerulean blue with cadmium yellow light. It’s no wonder it’s my favorite green! I love watching the light reflecting off each upturned baby leaf... a raised open hand waiting to receive. There is something about a warm spring day after winter’s cold that we, too, stand with faces and hands upturned to the warmth of the sun.
I am filled with a peace and calmness, losing myself in the smells and sounds of earth’s re-awakening. There is peace in my soul, a song in my heart and I sing as one with all. As I sit here soaking up the sun’s warmth, I can hear the grass and fluttering leaves speak in whispers with the breeze. Budding blossoms and flowers fill my senses as I drink in their beauty through both eyes and nose. I am filled to overflowing.
Sometimes I think about painting all I see, hear and feel... and I have often tried... but there is no way I could possibly capture it all. It is much better, I think, to simply sit here and absorb it all until I am one with the earth and all its gifts.
We humans have a tendency to forget that the earth doesn’t need us... we need the earth and its many gifts. We have been appointed as its caretakers and protectors and every once in a while it’s important... imperative... we take the time to reconnect and be appreciative of all we receive.
If the soil is not tilled, seeds not planted and plants not watered or tended, there will be no harvest but if everyone takes care of their own little piece, we will continue to receive all the life-giving gifts our earth has to offer.
I am grateful for all I receive from nature... both life sustaining and soul sustaining food. The least I can do is show my appreciation by doing my part.
Love, Light and Joy to you all as you enjoy this transition from death to life... Winter to Spring!
Remember... We need the earth. It doesn’t need us.
