winter's branched honesty—

dramatic. dark. naked.

clear white spaces in between

the shape you really are

I love these lines - where I am right now, for sure. Not too early to whisper spring. But I'm finding so much depth in the dramatic, the dark, the honesty. I don't mind the long nights still ahead.

"Listening winter into spring" - what a gorgeous concept! I'm on the Oregon coast right now, and it's beautiful and cooold. I'll start whispering spring.

That's great Lisa, I'm in Dublin, Ireland and it's cold too, but days are slowly lengthening and the sun strengthening. And the magic is happening beneath the ground. Out of sight. We'll listen and trust it into Spring...

What is it that Winter gives to Spring if not the will to move once more, upward and outward, into the light?

Yes Paul. The cycle we experience every year, but feels so uncertain. The underground work underway. Stay in the comfortable, cold dark, or on to all the life we cannot see.
