Yay! It's only 9 seconds, but I'll take it. We like to call that 'directionally correct'.

I had a wonderful "High Noon" dance to welcome in the new year. Good times to you and yours.

BlueHeronDruid wrote:My bones tell me spring is out there, pensive, hidden. It’s a knowing that cannot be explained. The deer are mindful of this fact even in November. Of course I understand the seasons, and the calendar gives clues but that’s not the spring I’m thinking about – this cycle, the turning, something deep within speaks of life and miracles. Maybe broken hearts are better receptors, or my fatigue draws the curtains open to that light, but how else can the perfection of tall white oak begin with nothing more than what fell, heedless, and gathered by squirrels, stashed, forgotten, put down roots in the cold earth and reach toward what it does not know? I ask you this: how? I am so tired in what should be my time of rest, and still I know that spring is out there, that roots will plunge, fawns will emerge, and step into the light with gratitude for all that is made, and for whatever mysteries await. bhd 1/9/04
Beautiful.

EDIT: LOVELY poem, BHD. Thank you! Thanks, Alex. I wrote that the morning of the 9th after spending the night of the 8th on the floor in my mother's room. She died later that night. But it's not a lament. Though my back was killin' me from sleeping on the floor.
