Love says



Lovers find secret places
inside this violent world
where they make transactions
with beauty.


Reason says, Nonsense. 

I have walked and measured the walls here.
There are no places like that.

Love says, There are.




-Rumi, from Secret Places

This world is not yet in flames

This world of slow question mark, single blue jay, early monarch in milkweed, blue azure damselflies and elusive blue indigo birds in May - is not yet in flames.

Hummingbirds are coming

A visit to a privately owned "public garden", for a fee.

Hummingbirds are coming. They build their tiny nests from fine materials, like the fuzz from emerging native Cinnamon ferns. 




Spring beauties, on a meditative ephemeral moss garden where, we are told, master moss keepers maintain the balance. 


Royal ferns keep you in check. 



Oak blossoms remind you of Spring folktales I forgot, the fiddle heads in Christmas stockings. 



For last, the remembering of roots, some of the old colony masters. Our dream friends.


Happy, or not, Easter Day!
