Spring has arrived - "A Settlement"

Posted on Mar 2nd, 2007 by JewelMountain : fool JewelMountain

Look, it's spring.

And last year's loose dust has turned into this soft willingness. The wind-flowers have come up trembling, slowly the brackens are uplifting their curvaceous and pale bodies. The thrushes have come home, none less than filled with mystery, sorrow, happiness, music, ambition.

And i am walking out into all of this with nowhere to go and no task undertaken but to turn the pages of this beautiful world over and over, in the world of my mind.

Therefore, dark past,
I'm about to do it.
I'm about to forgive you

for everything.

- Mary Oliver

“I'm about to forgive you”, I really love that line! That tender moment JUST before, not quite there.

Will you be sharing some of your poetry bro?

Smiles and pulled chest muscles, Rich!  :  )
