Contemplate the wisdom of the trees.
The pine is steadfast, ever green, and firmly rooted.
The bamboo is strong, supple and resilient.
The plum blossom is vibrant, fresh and florescent —
a
symbol
of
hope
and
renewal.
— an adaptation of a teaching of Morihei Ueshiba, 20th century CE martial artist, teacher, philosopher and founder of the martial art and science of Aikidō 合気道

A renewal, indeed. The Wolf Moon behind us, picking out seeds and planning the garden begin to sprout as ideas. No new scents to the air, but there's an expectancy now, that wasn't there before.
All this, even amid the most highly manipulated and controlled environment the planet, flora and fauna have seen in 26,500 years or so.
Life cannot be put out. It will always find expression elsewhere, if in another form.
Life's mandate cannot be out maneuvered because its natural motion is to create and keep moving. Its never still. Until and unless it has dropped energizing some THING and moved on somewhere else.
Like springs that dry up and sprout in another crevice after years in one place, and for the same reasons, things are moving and shifting all the time - nothing is truly static.
Movement = life.
And look... it is stirring - yet again, in inimitable, invisible ways.
Stirring awake...
...thank you dear Mac, for the zing and zang of it all... so fun!
