Spring

It's here and I am so in love with it. Everything from the daffodils on the side of the road, to the cherry trees all blooming out everywhere. There are s many things that made last spring so bitter sweet..and I honestly can't believe it's here again, that times just passed me by so quickly. Every breathe of air, every ray of sunlight shining through the woods, every little memory now vivid and alive.

I never fully appreciated the spring and the meaning of new beginnings and new life. I always took this part of the year for granted.. like it always happened and always would be around. I was in love with the deep contemplation of fall and all it's changes and beauty. I think this year is going to be my spring.

My outlook on life can be quite grim and distrusting. I think though throughout these depressing thoughts and scenarios that I must embrace the almost bodhisattva like presence I have become. I seem to get involved in entirely hopeless and sad situations to try and remedy them. This can be a good thing, it's noble to help someone out , but I seem to get entangled all too quickly and extremely emotionally invested.. there are lots of hurting people out there.. I don't know exactly what I am going to do about it just yet, but when I figure it out I will let you know.

Things are good.. I need to de stress a little.. but that I think will come when I have five or ten minutes to myself.. like I have now to just write.. and think for a moment.. Lately all I have been wanting to do when I get a free moment is to just lay down and sleep. A few good hours of sleep tend to put me in a far better mood.

I have so many plans for this Spring and so many things I want to do and places I want to go.. so if I get a chance again. as you see they are few and very far between to write.. I will.. I don't want this journey to go undocumented.

Namaste
