Season Between Rain and Bloom
Everything we do has consequences we don’t always see right away. When I think about where our waste goes, or how the land responds to our care — or neglect — I’m reminded that seeds respond to warmth and rain, trees to attention, and so do we. And if we don’t witness a super bloom this spring, we do, in some small but undeniable way, have a part in that story. Whether or not the hills explode into color, the earth is always listening. And so I begin this year by paying closer attention — tending what’s in front of me, choosing care even when it’s inconvenient, and trusting that, over time, what we nurture will bloom in ways both visible and unseen.
