Wordsmiths, may your tribe increase!

It is the end of March now, spring is yet to burst out. We have had an unusual winter with major dips and highs; there were warm days but come February, we have been in a cold snap ( read below zero degrees) and there is yet one more impending one, as I write this! Yet, the air around me now is pregnant, heaving with unborn life, the buds are there in trees and the trees seem to be holding on to them magically- not yet letting them bloom, a few brave early flowers here and there - daffodils, primulas, some brave snails and earthworms making an early appearance. Life seems to be on a fine line, holding on, I can almost hear the millions stirrings around me, all just waiting these few precious degrees of sun's warmth. Life and its myriad possibilities, I often find myself pausing in awe, as I wait for the fecundity of Mother Earth to unfurl in all it's glory. Almost like an inhalation and waiting to exhale, the threshold, almost there but not yet! How long will it hold on bef
