From Root to Bloom by Danna Faulds
Sap is flowing once again
from root to trunk, from
trunk to branch, to every
leaf and bud and blossom
on the tree.
The frozen days
are past. Now is the season
of flowering, when the full
force of energy moves up and
up to manifest its destiny.
It is everything to me, this
new life spraining forth from
ash and compost, this chance
to nurture, weed, and prune,
to patiently receive the
miracle that blooms as if
no force unearth can
Can you feel it within you too?
I am back from 10 glorious days at Kripalu assisting in the 300 hour Special Populations teacher training module. Being there as Spring unfolded was very special…. and to witness the unfolding, learning and growth of the Sangha was a joyful experience.
Let me float here awhile ….
Thank you for these lovely photos, Val.
