I just noticed that this tree in the backyard has become green and lush and exploded practically overnight!Where there was bare bone branches, now there is bursting leaves of green life.
It was a sharp, spiny, barrenness.
A skeleton of a tree. Now, verdant emerald five-leafed fingers of greenery.
SPRING is HERE.
The rhythms of these seasons, so much like the process of birth.
Where there was nothing
but a promise of something.
Then the "something" unfolds into everything.
New life.
Three mamas in my community at my church,
full-of-promise, full of life
have birthed the fullness of life in the past week (one in the thick of labor, the process of blooming, as I write this).
And I'm on my way out the door to go to another mamas blooming right now...
May 5th: Happy International Day of the Midwife!
