Spring has sprung here in the southern hemisphere

The mornings and evenings are lighter

After so much greyness and cold, the blue canopy of the sky feels like a relief

Waking to morning birdsong, brings a smile

Soothing to the eyes, vibrant green growth burst on to the no-longer winter silhouetted trees

The nurturing rays of warm sunshine felt on bare skin

The sweet fragrance of jasmine blooming, punctuates the air

The delight of children playing outdoors travels in the wind 

A sense of possibility 

Just as we experience the movement of nature in the seasons

With a sense of wonder and gentle curiosity

I invite you to take time to connect to this moment

And notice, what may be budding within you?
