Blackthorn

Let blossom season commence.

The suns warm kiss has teased the blackthorn to bloom, delighting the hibernation taste buds of the pollinators that have also heard springs call. 

Just sitting still, with the warm sun on my cheek, good earth medicine, grounding. 

I listen to the excited busy birds, catch a whiff of the scent of warming earth. 

The extra light at each end of the day gives me comfort that the dark days are gone and each dusk wraps me in a pink sky and a melancholy blackbird solo.
