Natural Cycles

The turtle swims on the surface,spots something interesting in the deep,takes a dive to satisfy the call,knowing all the while,quench your thirst toward the Earth, back to the top,lessons got, rebirth with the breath;to swim the surface again. To be like turtle and flow with the tides of deep under,back afloat;not resisting, just ebb and bob, ebb and bob, seek and find, move on... Being content held lovingly in the freeflowing waters, instinctively knowing when it's time to climb ashore,find a whole in the Earth, sun on a rock, enjoy the land legs;before sliding back into the pond.
Ahhh, to be outside,barefoot in the dirt,splashing my feet in the water,drying in the warmth of the sun,listening to the birds sing me a song.... Ok, so winter to date has been gentle, but the other day of 50, being out seeing the signs of Spring can really mess with a gal's timing. The geese were flying North, the people out walking for a breath of fresh air,neighbors chit chatting on the fence about mowing but all the while knowing soon, they would be blowing the snowing.  Which within a 24 hour period was proof. These are indeed accelerated times however, all seasons within one day?? Who's complaining, not this gal who enjoys faster movment. Enough, daydreaming, I am reminded to be where I am fully engaged in the task at hand. It IS January, time for inner explorations,self-reflections,excavating my truths. I will put into motion very soon. Spring will have sprung and this bell will be ready to be rung!
What are you doing to prepare for the thaw? What truths are you learning to craw? What will you fling into the Spring?
