...emergence...

just as surely as i am beginning to see the (however tenuous) signs of spring, i think that i can safely say that i am emerging from the funk that has been consuming me for the past several months

the snow is beginning to melt

and i am beginning to have some clarity surrounding the specific circumstances in my life that have been really tugging me down

i am starting to see patterns and habits in a whole new light

there are juniper berries on the trees and

i feel as if i am having a bit of an awakening

just as these plants are struggling to come back,

i am trying to weed out unproductive thoughts and beliefs

and plant seeds of uplifting

the ground is showing through once more, beneath the snow

and i can pretty clearly see where my work lies

although i know another storm can come at any time,

i also know that the promise of spring is just around the corner

i am shifting my focus and my energy back where it belongs,

on my family, on myself, on my home, and on my work

wish me luck...
