Spring Break

A beautiful, very warm day today -- it must've been 75. Spring is settling in . . . the forcythias have exploded, the dogwoods are getting ready to bloom. The trees are tenatively budding; driving home I saw a wild turkey, looking slim but ready to pile on the pounds, pecking at seeds while a fat woodchuck soaked in the sunshine nearby.

A good day to remember and soak in the simple marvels that surround us, all the time. Today I was actually almost glad for the nightly traffic jam . . . it gave Me a few minutes to really appreciate the beauty of the world waking up, renewing itself.

Posting about the heavy metaphysical stuff seems almost foolish after the drive home tonight. It's important to remember that there are times to think and times to simply revel in the simple magnificence of spring.
