Spring Unbound

As cycles of nature become more wobbly, we humans have to become more solid than ever. Spring has wobbled into action here in Vancouver, starting in time for the Winter Olympics, then regressing back into Winter. This phenomenon is customary here on the West Coast. We were graced with a swift comeback though I know the patterns will continue to fluctuate. I have been enjoying the blossoms and observing life renewing itself, marveling at the force that nature presents with cyclic perfection amongst back drops of clear blue and rain saturated gray skies.

After a slumber like Winter for me, then having the Olympics sweep through town, I felt like retreating into a cave and lounging around a fire with a big pot of tea surrounded by music for a hundred years. It is hard to hibernate as nature wakes up though. I recognize a profuse gratitude for all of the amazing stuff in my life that sustains my existence and fills me with inspiration, and gives me a busy schedule. I find myself worshiping spring, and feeling mightier for it.

Cherry blossom petals dance upon the branches billowing on the breeze, the setting sun sparkles upon the ocean waves, I worship the perfection nature has created after billions of years of evolutionary cultivating. I gain strength from opening my heart to the tiniest blossom, to the faintest bird song. I feel my mood elevated by the emerging presence of nature’s colors.

I revere the music that my heart beats to. The artists that inspire my mind and creativity. The yoga that helps keep my structure in alignment. I honor the feelings of spring reverberating inside my body. With the explosion of life all around me, and within me, I bow down and hug the Earth. I feel supported and I feel like supporting her.

Cherry Juice

The smooth round orb was called into action, it had been cultivating potent energy stores for its allotted season. This dense mass was masterful of fusing vital frequencies from the sun and from the rain, culminating a fiery juice that would leave a blood like stain where ever it landed, unlike the clear mark of water or the black scorch of fire. This mark resembled blood, but had a sweet aftertaste. The magical orb had great powers, whenever it was assimilated by one of the Earth creatures, it NOURISHED, restoring balance to the creatures that otherwise consumed too much garbage and excessive sludge. It infused these depleted beings with the elements, once again. A necessary fortification connecting the Earth creatures to their ancestral roots.

The umbilical stem that connected the orb to its collective pod docking structure, that enabled the orb to fuse the ancient and present dual energies with the earth, was being tugged upon. With a gentle force it was blasted out of its stem dock to begin its mission to infuse the anticipating lovecreatures’s existence on a cellular and energetic level.

If you are a parent please, feed your children an abundance of this wonderful tree fruit. I grew up on Okanagan cherries and to this day eating them brings me back to my childhood where I spent many sunny days at a lake, eating cherries… I absolutely love eating them and had so much fun making them into jam last week.

If you are experiencing intense summer heat like we have in Vancouver be sure to eat plenty of raw fruit and vegetables, the potassium they contain will cool you down. Stay hydrated, drink plenty of herbal tea. I drink hot tea all day long in this heat, ginger has been my favorite lately. Don’t let the heat bog you down, I parked my car and have been cycling everywhere.

pink swells… then fades to green

Outside my window it appears to be snowing. The pink blossoms from the giant cherry tree in my back yard have swollen, and are now slowly making their way to the ground. When I cross my yard it appears as if fresh petals have been laid upon my path. The birds surround me with symphonic beauty, I feel miles away from the city that I am living in and deeply connected to the pockets of nature that surround me. The cherry tree fades from pink to red and green.

Enjoy the colors, sights and sounds of spring. After spring fades into summer, you won’t get to see it for another year, unless you travel to the southern hemisphere of course.

Spring has sprung, and with the change in seasons comes a boost in our spirit. Use this extra energy to dream big, aim for the stars. All of the beautiful blossoms adorning the streets and landscapes of the northern hemisphere are promising luscious fruit in the months to come.

I am not much of a gamer, but have fun catching stars and bringing them down to Earth to light lanterns in Star Catcher. Beware of the dark clouds! This game was developed by Big Hadron Games, masters students at The Centre For Digital Media. Check it out.

Dream big. Now is the time.
