Birth is All Around Us

Birth is all around us;

In everything,

Every blade of grass,

Chirp of baby birds newly hatched,

Tiny flowers submitting to their nature to be fruit,

The covey of quail scurrying single file,

Rise of the sun upon a new day,

Winter welcoming the spring,

Barren branches bursting with cool green leaves,

April rains coaxing wildflowers from nothing,

Parks full of strollers and carriages,

Toddlers laughter filling the air,

Earth and sky warming.

Birth is all around us,

In everything,

Wondrous!

      Oh my don’t you think enough is enough it’s April for crying-out-loud. Hopefully Pee had her boots on, we don’t want her little feet to get cold. :)

    Nice :)
    Meanwhile – we have snow & this morning my vehicle doors were frozen shut.
    Where is spring? – Not in the mid-west – that’s for sure.

      Wow, sorry to hear that, I guess winter if fighting to stay around a little longer where you are. Hopefully it ends soon. :)

        I hope so too.
        Enjoy today – enjoy every day. :)

        Exactly, we should all strive to enjoy every day for we never know how many of them we have left.

    Beautiful and just love the imagery and positive feel to this…birth and beginnings every day as well:)

    1. Dom DiFrancesco Avatar

      Thank you so much, I am trying to be more positive (at least most of the time) with my writing.

      1. Tracesofthesoul Avatar

        Well, that IS great…I am feeling lots of negativity lately and don’t want to flirt these thoughts too much with words…a bit of a struggle…I have to debate…if I let it out maybe it will get out instead of festering…I do love the birth analogy though. Perhaps I should stop worrying so much and just enjoy today…I preach it…(grins)

      2. Dom DiFrancesco Avatar

        Absolutely, let it out to get rid of it, then just enjoy today…what else is there. :)

        :D more “today’s” tomorrow. Blessings, Dominic and if I don’t have a chance, Happy Easter.
