It boggles my mind to ponder the possibility of two months having passed since my dear Zoey's passing. The mere mention of her name pains my heart. Her presence is sorely missed in my new space...
Spring has dawned a new day and I am hopeful for less dark times. This winter has been a long, hard one and I have never been more anxious for sunnier, lighter times. Since I heard it yesterday, I am obsessively listening to Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWOyfLBYtuU). The creative lyrics, the intensity, the unique and powerful lead's voice, the chorus, the clapping and drum beat, and the possibility I feel in listening to it...
I am taking baby steps. In a symbolic gesture for the first day of spring, I finished my vision door for 2011 intentions and cleared my new patio off, prepared my pots with soil and started envisioning what will be planted in coming days and nurtured in the process...
