Spring Unfolding

In one week,

last Wednesday to this,

the back drop of the sky,

has gone from an X ray table

highlighting skeletal trees

to tiny lace openings

between leaves as they bud-open-flower.

The miracle seems greater

every year that my

my precious human body

observes it.

The color has gone

from flat brown,

to vibrant minty mouthwash

tender green.

Each standing person (tree)

inhabiting in their whole space.

Proudly defining

their full belly, a circle or oval.

Similar to our soul,

reaching to fill out the

bare branches of

our wounded selves,

that can’t accept

the fresh mint of love,

or can’t allow

the unfolding of new growth.

Our souls work so continually

to remind our mind/consciousness

to bud and birth the million leaves of

our joy

our deservedness

our worth.

May you hear and heed your soul.

May you unfold into the fullness

of the truth of ALL that you are

in this spring of our ascension

into the summer of 2012.
