A New Leaf

Its a few days after Easter Sunday. It's also holy days for many other cultures other than Christian.  Not being a scholar of any (raised Catholic, but in practice, a Gardener), my thoughts range towards the general idea of rebirth and renewal, applicable to all.  Without data to support my theory, I think all of our efforts and historical experiences are centered on the idea that it happens when the earth is reawakening from her winter slumber.  Now I realize that in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed, and I cannot speak to how that disables my idea, but I forge on...

I fortify myself with birdsong, emerging seedlings, unfurling fronds, delicately unfolding blossoms and the graceful gestures of the Japanese maple fans, like so many elegant dancers on a stage. I do my best to send this awesome energy to the world that needs it.
