From Winter Comes Spring

/ / Surprised by joy—impatient as the Wind I turned to share the transport—Oh! with whom But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, That spot which no vicissitude can find? Love, faithful… Continue reading →

... I’m not officially back from taking a break from this space. But I loaded the app on my phone again, just long enough to pop in and say hello... and make good on my word that I’m taking piano lessons. It’s hard to believe I took this picture on April 1st of 2012. If you live around here, you understand what I mean. April 15 of 2018 looks very little like this photo and feels a lot more like winter! (We’re even supposed to get snow today! 😩) There are no spring blossoms anywhere in sight.. and we’re two weeks past April 1st! I just keep on waiting, trying my best to be patient. That’s actually a good theme for me right now... late blooming. Here I am, 46, and I’m just now seriously taking piano lessons... to hopefully fulfill a life-long dream of mine. I love themes like this... “I can begin again... with the passion of a child.” I love spring for its promise of renewal... (not so much for its can’t-make-up-its-mindedness, though!) It’s why these words... this song is one of my favorites... // I was home by the winter. I was home from the school town, undecided. And questions came, like, What did you say you're doing now? Well, I... I had hopes for my music. And I imagined their faces said, Well, you can't do that, you silly thing. God, He gave me a brave heart. But God, He gave me a chicken head. And I felt I'd failed. . I am always beginning the world, beginning the world. . Aren't you bursting with butterflies on the fourth of September? Like you'll have to get on the bus in your tartan dress, with your lunch box. Though your body is twenty-nine. Though your mind is an old thing. I mean, don't you ever sigh, . I am always beginning the world, beginning the world? I am always beginning the world, beginning the world. . Always the same underdog stance under the same happy-sad sky, eternally crying. Am I still shy? . I am always beginning the world, beginning the world. I am always beginning the world, beginning the world, beginning the world. // What a perfectly hopeful concept... always beginning the world. With that, I’m heading back into my break. Thank you for all the words of encouragement. 💛 . #theinnocencemission #umbrella #spring #blossom #nature
