As I sat in meditation this morning, my eyes opened as Robert made his way to listen for his ride to work. Sassy, the black cat, sleekly sat in front of the window covered with the tree of life, eyes widening and again becoming closed. The bright sun streamed through the one bare window as the snow covered tree reminded me of winter’s brisk beauty.
Robert opened the door again to listen and that’s when I heard them. The birds. Singing. On this crisp, frozen morning so cold school was cancelled, the birds are singing joyfully. Singing their song, “A Promise of Spring”. It was as if their song emitted, “Oh it’s cold and you humans have been inside… It feels for so long, but here we sing, to bring you A Promise of Spring!” And I do say Thank You kind Birds, Thank You Sunshine . For your promises of warmth, new beginnings, and growth. I was definitely in need of a reminder that this wonderful winter of introspection will soon shift.
