The flowers in my garden are budding, and Spring is in the air. A sky full of sunshine brings peace as the birds tweet to one another, and I continue my thoughts on the blossoming theme chosen for the Spiritual Journey Thursday writers. You can read my thoughts as the host and other writers' perspectives on blossoming here.
According to AI, the concept of blossoming "symbolizes spiritual growth, transformation, and the beauty that can emerge even in difficult or barren times". As many of you know, I am feeling the pangs of bereavement that come into my heart in different ways. Sometimes, it floats in the sun-filled sky, offering silent time. Other times, it adds drama to an ordinary spring day. The beginning of May, with bright sunshine, warmth, and various colored blossoms, brings back memories of past gardens, leisurely walks at the beach, and time spent together.
- morning breaks open each day
- silently unfolding life
- you're an image in my dreams
- journeying with me
