Hope Where We Can Find It: Spring Season Crocus

This past winter has been an absolute tsunami of bad economic news. It is all too easy to lose our way, to be buried in the anxieties and concerns for our well-being and the hope of a real future. There is one particular sign of hope, available to everyone and that is the Spring Season crocus.

The planet is OURS, belonging to the people, not the powers that be. We are definitely fragile and very subject to the whims and corruption of power-brokers, bankers, and the insanity of continuous application of failed policies. Can fragility survive this overwhelming tidal wave of corruption and distress?

Mother nature says yes. Mother nature cherishes the tender, the weak, the fragile. Mother nature nourishes new and precious life and makes a home for everyone, everything.

Spring season crocuses are proof of the hope that life brings. After a particularly dreadful and surprising winter, snow in Vegas, temperatures of -40 and -50, blizzards, ice storms and power outages, peeking through the mantle of the afflicted earth are the most tender things imaginable- crocus that heralds new life, sunshine and hope.

Spring is the season and proof of hope. Despite the worst that can happen, you are cherished, treasured, nurtured and supported by the earth herself. Your life, and the life you generate is important and loved. Take the tiny gift of hope that peeks out of the battered winter and remember your soul. Freshen up, brighten up and remember, we are UP TO THE CHALLENGES we face.
