change is in the air...

the seasons are changing, spring is teasing w.our senses... now is the time when we are awakened... pulled into the warming air and are able to feel warmth come within... it is a time to live again. given a chance to start over and begin a new journey. just like shafts of green sprouting grass we break through the cold dark ground and expose ourselved to the elements and take on new risks... whether they are stormy summer nights or risky life adventures, embrace the moment of the unknown...

as the snow melts the earth gives out and slides across the forgotten rows of maize...

these pools that, though in forests, still reflect
the total sky almost without defect,
and like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
will like the flowers beside them soon be gone,
and yet not out by any brook or river,
but up by roots to bring dark foliage on.
the trees that have it in their pent-up buds
to darken nature and be summer woods --
let them think twice before they use their powers
to blot out and drink up and sweep away
these flowery waters and these watery flowers
from snow that melted only yesterday.

r. frost.
there is hope in the newly barren land... reminded that we are not forgotten and life will live again.

ideas for m.c.c. spring 11 are turning in my heads... but until then enjoy m.c.c. spring 10 coming soon... very soon...
