It has been mild enough for a long enough time that the trees, shrubs and grasses are finally beginning to green up. We had such a dry winter that there is some concern about drought persisting or intensifying here in Minnesota throughout the coming summer. We have been fortunate to benefit from some rain recently. It's a consoling thing to see the world come alive with a mantle of green growing day by day.
Spring is a time of new beginnings. It can be an auspicious time for cleansing out that which no longer serves you and cultivating new practices to enrich your life. I continue to faithfully follow some of my longstanding daily practices. And I am still following a more recent addition. At the beginning of the month I began a daily practice of writing down what I am grateful for. I stuff the sheet of paper listing my gratitude into a vase. As the days and weeks pass I can see the power of my gratitude accumulating in the vase. It's a nice feeling.
I was fortunate to be able to reclaim my computer earlier than I was first expecting I would. This was made possible by the generosity of the Basilica of St. Mary.
