SPRINGTIME

Spring time, a time of hope, fresh feelings and happiness to forfill hearts and minds as Mother Earth says goodbye to the slumber of the winter, the dark nights, dark mornings and cold days, goodbye just for now because we know Mother Earth will need time to recover from what the rest of the year will bring.

So spring is upon us, a feeling of anticipation, hope and that eternal buzzing feeling, time to spring clean, time to remove the debris from the garden that collects over the winter months. This will allow the new shoots and bulbs to break through the hardened  earth. What a feeling of heart warming hope, as plans start to fill our minds of holidays, being out and about, sitting for a while in our gardens, smelling that fresh cut grass for the first time in what seems a long time passed. As spring progresses, the flowers bloom, the bulbs have broken the surface of the ground, it’s time to smell the beautiful fragrances, to notice the vibrant colours, the uplifting daffodils with their bright yellow trumpet like heads, calling, singing I’m here, a line comes to mind from a past song, summer time, winter time spring and autumn too, all kinds of everything remind me of you, so as we gaze upon the beauty of Mother Nature, send a thought to the spirit world, share a thought of times past, send that heartfelt feeling of what Mother Nature shows us, feel the warmth of the sun, absorb the healing rays sent from the heavens, what a time to be alive, our journey, our springtime, a time for us all to bloom, at time to grow, share, plan and take our memories as we go, so enjoy what heaven has sent once more, a beautiful time of warmth, colour, upliftment and hope, new beginning for us all.
