These rains have melted away the last snow,
and green leaves, clover and grasses reveal
that life continued through the cold dark months
waiting for the warmth that would come.
I also follow this season as it changes
wearing lighter jackets out into the fields
the morphing wonders of this new time,
still wet and cool allows me to imagine the sun.

This is the season between,
rain begins to replace the snow,
(though it may still freeze)
and green rises above the white.

rain
ponds rising
green leaves
a yellow blossom
worms on the sidewalk
all signs
4.
Things are rarely simple in nature,
not at all like our light switches,
but gradual, multifaceted, nonlinear,
meandering through time and space...
We may watch for one thing
but see a hundred confusing signs
for what we think we are waiting for.
5.
God is not simple,
He is not "yes or no."
rather He is, "Come and see."
Look deeply,
carefully
to see beyond
our human
models of reality...
