Birds singing, nature springing.

It is 6:30am and the birds are singing and plants and trees are blooming. Spring is here. While we continue to shelter in place, nature continues to thrive. As the birds break the quiet of morning, and a gentle rain falls, nature brings warmth to my heart.  We are emerging from winter’s cold and now with COVID-19 pandemic, winter’s chill lingers.  World news reminds us of the suffering, loss, worry and uncertainty of this time. However, nature is calling us to wake up. Nature is shouting, loudly through birds singing, rain falling, and life blooming. Can you hear, see, taste, smell and feel springtime in your heart. Today, turn off the news, open your eyes, ears, minds and allow winter’s cold to thaw our suffering so we can heal the world.#spring2020
