A slow awakening

I noticed how soft the ground felt under my feet suddenly, cushioning my steps, Such a difference from pulsing through the snow or gliding on the slippery ice. All the paths have been covered for months. I sighed with relief. Now spring is on its way! With air warmer to breathe, more hours of daylight, and louder songs from the birds. A wild bunny came out after sunset on the grass, now visibly green again. What has been hiding and sleeping, slowly awakens again.

The sunset as seen from my lanai this time of year.

This year, I'm not going to rush. I'm not going to chase after pretty pictures of little flowers barely coming up from the ground, but instead just enjoy the present moment. After all, it can disappear quickly as it is. I'm going to let it all unfold, trusting the process and the pace, and see if I can apply this to my own life too.

I must learn to breathe.
