Do you see what I see?

"Do You See What I See?"

Yesterday, Big Daddy, Off Color Daughter and I took a walk. 

I was not really in the mood and wanted to stay in bed where I'd been for half the day watching 'tv'

and catching up on some rest from overworking last week.

I'm glad I was persuaded because the warm sun coupled with the brisk wind

awoke my senses.

As we walked, I realized that life was waking up all around me.

The bare trees that have been standing stark against the blue sky,

suddenly

are waking--- one can see as their tiny potentiality springs in

little tiny buds at the end of their fingers, so tiny one almost misses them,

but so intriguing to examine aclose.

Are we like the trees,

do we grow tiny buds of potential, wrapped up at the ends,

waiting for just the right "weather", temperature, soil conditions?

As we walked, Off Color Daughter, put in her ipod and pretended not to notice us as we headed toward the local grocery to pick up a few items.  Big Daddy of course would be the strong man who carried them home in my nerdy "co-op" bag.

Life popped all around me,

causing me to wipe a bit of my lazy day sleep from my eyes.

The purple of the Crocus bud,

was pushing its' tiny head from out of the soil

heading toward the sky about to break open in spectacular violet to splash the dried up grass from summers past with a bit of color.  Up ahead a bit further,

yellow daffodils were at work doing the same.  And I wondered if somewhere deep inside my fearful spirit---Can this frozen soul awaken too---just like the view of nature all around---Can I shoot forth in potentiality or will I choose to stay in my safe place of hibernation?

Do you see what I see?

Life

waking up all around me

and

i have to wonder?

As I beginning to wake up from my long spiritual hibernation?

Will I soon be stretching my arms toward the sky?

Will I spread my petals far so that I can capture more of the Creators Love Rays?

Do you see what I see?

Life

coming forth

warmth beaming into the brisk cool air,

Life

springing forth all around

inviting us---inviting me---

to get up out of bed

and

enjoy

the wonder of it all.

Go on...

head out into it this morning

and

see....

Do you see what I see?

Life

all around....

Life...

and it is a good thing.

Have a wonderful Monday...

hugs and blessings...
