Foreshadowing Spring

A Frosty Dawn

It is mid-March. Spring’s full bounty remains weeks away. Already, however, preparations for spring are evident. The stream is flowing, cold and quiet, as it collects the snowmelt and carries it away. Still, winter isn’t fully finished. Just this morning, a sleeve of frost was worn by every branch, just after dawn, and lasting only until the day’s warmth caused each sleeve to melt away. The ducks were there to witness this gorgeous morning. They recognized that despite that late winter snow, spring is coming soon.

As you watch this video, consider the transitions you are experiencing. It is rare that change is always forward-looking. Like spring’s arrival, sometimes we go back a step or two before moving forward again. Sometimes, patience is needed, coupled with perseverance and trust, which eventually eases us through the transitions we are seeking.

Spring is coming. It is not a question of whether, but merely uncertainty about when, and the early signs that foreshadow its inevitable arrival are all around us. Look for the signs and cues that signal the arrival of the changes you are seeking.
