The smell of spring is slowly drifting into the soul. The wind is brushing up the flowers with uplifting notes. The sun is caressing all it touches, lightly, gently, not shocking our system but slowly allowing us to rise from our deep slumber.
This feeling of rebirth fuels my ambition. However slowly, however long it may take, I know I will flourish again.
Fall tore me apart. Fall shed me of the leaves I grew for a season, but their memories remain.
Fall was not an easy transition as I mentioned in previous posts. I was having trouble understanding why I had to change again, I was comfortable with my leaves. The cold started to kick in, I wanted so dearly to be held in those moments where parts of me died off. Little did I know, my leaves were falling to aid me in my regrowth this spring.
Winter was cold but winter was comfortable. I got to go into hibernation. I wasn’t needed in the “real world” I got to hole up and eat and relax. Winter was peaceful and warm because of the leaves that fell to protect my roots.
Now that winter is coming to an end, I have to rebuild myself. My buds are slowly peaking through the edges of my branches.
I wrote this last years start of spring but somehow the words still very highly resonate within me.
I did have to shed myself yet again this past fall.
Had to relinquish myself of the growth of the spring mentioned in this very post. But as I reflect I am so honored and blessed to have understood this transition better.
Time to be reborn again, time after time
Hour after hour
Day after day
Year after year 🙂
