A truly awesome post. I just returned from a conference where I took a creativity workshop (which of course I will be writing about here in a couple of weeks) about using art/poetry as portals, but you have taught me to use a one-on-one relationship with a tree as a portal. I absolutely love it.
Great post! It’s been spring for a while here in New Orleans (with the pollen counts to prove it). I don’t miss winter, but I do miss those first little harbingers of spring when the crocuses and snowdrops poke their heads through the slush. Now it’s baseball season too—I think Opening Day would make a fine New Year replacement.

Aw, thanks! I can’t wait to read about what you’ve learned :)

I love everything about this. It is so Zen-like. I just need to stay in one place long enough to sit still and watch nature perform.
Spring comes slowly to MV -- I'm sure you'll have time soon!
What a delightful post. I yearn for signs of spring on the Vineyard. It snowed on my morning walk yesterday for goodness sakes:)
I'm going to start communing with my favorite oak tree when I get home. I'll try to write a poem to it. Great inspiration. Thanks!
