Springtime!

The energy is really starting to flow now! Everything is waking up. Spring bulbs blooming, trees leafing out, birds singing.

The Sap is Rising!

Well, it's finally Spring-like weather in NY and I've just completed my second season of making maple syrup by boiling down the sap from the Grandfather Sugar Maple tree at the top of my property. Thank you to the Sugar Maple tree spirit.

I found this animated gif on a unique tumblr site TAVIS. For me, this anim visualizes the rising of young Spring energy into the awaiting world. A fresh start for the new growing season. What does it remind you of?

Time-lapse speed-up of human perception yields a powerful sense of Mother Earth energies unfolding in a yearly cycle.
