I’ve been enjoying the desert lately.

Hi, spring. Please fill my days with open windows, early mornings, impromptu storms, Earl Grey and “Hinds Feet in High Places”, bare legs, downtown adventures and public transit, dream journaling, a living flower on my windowsill (I’m awful at that), oh, and the best company. Check. (Whoa. I’m blessed.)




They enter the new world naked,
cold, uncertain of all
save that they enter. All about them
the cold, familiar wind-

Now the grass, tomorrow
the stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf
One by one objects are defined-
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

But now the stark dignity of
entrance-Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken

(William Carlos Williams)
