they are blossoming


The hyacinths, that is.

My flat smells of spring.

Outside, these snow and sleet soaked buildings remember the sun. I felt it warm my back all afternoon.

Journal being filled with poems and scraps of thoughts while I live, eat, make my way from a to b.

The heart is longing for so many things at the moment. Retreat day is this week! I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom."

  2. Love the photo's. Thought of this poem..

    Hyacinth ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

    I am in love with him
    To whom a hyacinth is dearer
    Than I shall ever be dear.

    On nights when the field-mice
    Are abroad, he cannot sleep.
    He hears their narrow teeth
    At the bulbs of his hyacinths.

    But the gnawing at my heart . . .
    He does not hear.
