#springflow

[verdantvisionsai]

Spring tiptoes in and with it, comes a relentless force; love. As the vestiges of winter's hardened stones are swept away, love, like a wild rushing river, transforms our landscape. It carves canyons of hope where none existed, etching beauty in our world. Look around, it's the season of renewal, and just as the cold barren stones surrender to the gushing river, may we too yield to the power of love, creating beautiful canyons in our lives. Just like Spring, love is a perennial symbol of rebirth, reminding us that after every harsh winter, comes a blossoming bloom. May love flow and flourish in your lives, like the wild river does in Spring.

Spring Flowers

My iris are blooming like crazy. I wrote “my” but they were planted long before I called this home. All manner of other things are also flowering, although I don’t know what they are. Some are so very tiny and cute. All are beautiful.

Born: 1238 at San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy

Died: March 12, 1253

Feast Day: March 12

Patronage: people with disabilities, physically challenged people, spinners, San Gimignano

Saint Seraphina, an Italian Christian girl was a pious youth and diligent house keeper who helped her mother spin and sew.  At 10 years old, she endured the deaths of her parents and a paralyzing illness that confined her for the rest of her life on a bed made from a wooden pallet.  Devoted to St. Gregory the Great, he appeared to her to predict her death. She died as predicted on his feast day at age 15 and white violets bloomed from the pallet after her body was removed.

Spring Dance. A little painting on canvas featuring a blackbird, bluebells and some early spring butterflies, the small blue, tortoiseshell, peacock and brimstone. There were always clouds of brimstone in the New Forest when I was small, and the peacock overwintered in our old apple trees. I miss those days. This small painting is available in my Etsy shop. 🦋
