Melting

 “I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting as it were, into the system of beings, in identifying myself with the whole of nature.”  -Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Pond, Beaver Lake RoadPond Melt

Everywhere water is flowing, moving, seeking new adventures.  Awakening the earth, trees, sprouts, bushes and bears.  The melting brings a sweet song and a green promise.

What will you make of the promise of Spring?

“Because when the spring comes,

it melts the snow one flake at a time”

-Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“Spring rain conveyed

under the trees in drops”

-Matsuo Basho

Pond with Light Prism

 “Daughter of heaven and earth, coy Spring,

With sudden passion languishing,

Teaching barren moors to smile,

Painting pictures mile on mile,

Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths

Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
