Summer is here and it’s time to unwind …..

I’m taking a little break – see you in August!

Even surrounded by death and decay

Life resolutely unfurls

I love all things green –

but especially the vibrant green of newborn Spring leaves.

Happy Spring everyone!

These soft fluffy silvery catkins

are one of my favourite signs of Spring – what’s yours?

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns;

I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Something that was beautiful for a season dies

and releases a holy seed

carried away on the breath of God

alight with the promise of new Life.

It’s amazing to me that a tiny “dead” seed can suddenly shoot forth life so much bigger than itself.

Watching my seeds germinate is an everyday miracle that never gets old.

It reminds me that new Life can come from the most unlikely places.
