“Thanks for this day, for all birds safe in their nests, for whatever this is, for life.” 

― Barbara Kingsolver, Prodigal Summer

Spring arrives and I embrace her with open arms.
I find myself on my knees in the front garden,
trying to get beneath this lovely hellebore,
as to see her face. I am not nimble enough.
But it is enough to capture her vibrant colors,
the striking outline of her petals, and
the way the green complements it all.
It is enough to know spring has commenced,
and I am here to see and feel.

It all, is enough . . .
