The entire blooming happens in less than a minute, and it is beautiful. But nothing can approach the patience of the process and the patience it teaches those of us who observe. We watch the interweaving of species building from the parts that start first and add in other species and actions until the whole is in harmony and the next season is officially started. No clear cut boundry exists for when everything is done with its blooming and birthing. Perhaps when the dying starts we can say the newness is ended. We all know the dying isn't death as the following spring brings more newness...a movement and a change within the same environment with recognizable continuity. Thank you for your late spring thoughts and observations April.
