Hi Meri~ The entire cycle of life expressed in your haiku and photo. Amazing how you could so succinctly compress this concept in the same way the new soil is formed...

my first daffodils have lifted their bright faces.

may spring fill you in the way you long to be filled.

My pure white snow drop stands alone amid last year's decay, she is waiting patiently knowing sun's warm rays will eventually bring her more beautiful petals, a riot of colourful companions!

The changing colors of the cyclical seasons are warm and inviting. They make us less fearful of decay, having the understanding that it is a bittersweet necessity for new growth to take place. Beautiful image, Meri. It is like a Spring bouquet of leaves.
xo,

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)
