Indoor Fireworks

I can't believe it's almost April. I have not planted anything in my garden yet. I am feeling like I need to hurry up...especially on a day like today when the earth is ablaze. Apparently, the birds are having a good day today. I heard both my phantom hawk friend and my crazed crow friends while I was sitting in my office. It makes me happy, and makes me feel like something is happening...some signal is being released into the universe. I guess it's probably just spring telling me to get to focusing, planting, growing, weeding. I am using all of these as metaphors for my life lately, and I think it's very helpful.

*What seeds am I planting?
*What part of me is blooming?
*What excess do I need to prune?
*How am I growing stronger?
*What am I reaching toward?
*How am I feeding myself for growth?

All of this, of course, is filtered through my focus on remaining open to what comes to me, and learning from all of it, and still remaining open-hearted. I feel a lot of really rapid shifts in awareness, and I am trying to absorb what I can consciously. Other things are coming through my collages and my poems (and, by the way, I have added some new ones to my blog), and those things aren't as clear to me yet. I am seeing a new body of work developing, though, which is really exciting. I was feeling a little stuck there for a while, and am glad to be moving forward.
