This made me think, because today seems to be FULL of people pondering spiritual issues and ideas...
"...when new growth begins with the spring, the expanding buds will push the old leaves off, and the branches will soon be covered in new greenery..."
What jumped into my thoughts was, *of course!...* Trees are showing us the Way, in a material, visual manner. The Way of all things, material and spiritual, the new growth pushes the old leaves off.
Simple! And is not Nature telling us something like this ALL THE TIME?! Oh, I do love these kind of metaphores, I dooooo!
Remember the huskies, Mishka and her little sister? ^_^
You always bring me right to you!!!! Wild about the earthquake. So glad it was nothing extreme. I wonder if what you heard rustling around in the woods prior to was also the earthquake? Xoxox💚
Barbara, dear heart, I love hearing you tell your stories! They always touch me in many ways... my heart, my emotions, my spirituality, my deep love of nature...
Ha! Enjoyed taking this meandering journey with you and absolutely loved the photos. And “marcescence” - what a great word. And a great metaphor for life to go with it. Love me some nature- the cyclicality of it, its fractal echoes, and our own little part in the giant ecosphere. The forest is pure magic. Full of mystery. I’m more of a nautical girl, born on the Black Sea with seaweed running through my mermaid veins. Raising voices in harmony around beach bonfires as the sun sets on the shimmering horizon. Witches of earth, fire, water, and wind might not feel at home in every element, but they certainly do hold each with reverence. Thank you, dear!
What a beautiful poetic comment, Tonika! Thank you for meandering with me. 🌲🌲🌲 The Sea has its own mystery, that's for sure. I grew up around lakes and rivers and streams, but I love being around any body of water.
Yes, marcescence is a great word! And yes, to the witches of earth, fire, water, and wind! Beautifully stated. 💚
Oh, Claudia! You and me both (the retrograde!) It's in Taurus, and my moon/rising are both in Taurus. I am feeling it BIG TIME! Thanks so much for reading! 💚
You're welcome, J.R. Thanks for taking the time to read my meandering post. It would be nice to fall asleep with that Pine scent, right? Have a good night, yourself. :)
You're welcome, and thank you lovely Barbara! 💕🦋🌿

I plan to move into my new place within several days...
Aww, thank you, Gigi! Good luck!! xoxo

Hi Jamie! Maybe one day we'll have a hike in the woods together. :) Who knows what that rustling was??? xoxo

Thank you!
The greening has been welcomed this year.
I love the rocks, stumps, and moss. They do remind me of the dwellings of Wee Folk.
And how lucky we are to have an earthquake shake things up. 🦋
Yes to all of this, MJ. And an unexpected BOOM to liven things up yesterday. 😮 Glad my friend/neighbor is on top of things! xoxo
