the quiet blush of a hesitant spring



i find myself moving more slowly these days. more deliberately. with a deeper sense of presence. is it the hesitant arrival of spring, gently pulling my awareness out of winter's slumber? whatever the reason, my attention is more closely focused on each breath. each stitch. each moment. there is a connection between my quiet heart and this sleeping rabbit. an anticipation. . .

next to summon the clouds. . .

  1. I love the title of the post... and the curled rabbit. We finally got a deluge of rain the last few days, and with it cool weather. The forest is now sparkling green from a few days of wet. Happy slowing!

  3. think you've earned some slow time, you seem to have been very busy recently. Your lovely tender little rabbit reminds me of the cats, all curled up in their baskets with "please ..... do not disturb" in cat thought bubbles above their heads, doing their best Zen cat impressions!

    1. thank you, kat...though i think my "slow time" is only in each moment. my work hours are actually growing "worse"...but i'm seeking peace even in their chaos.

  4. I'm loving this piece, Joe, and the comparison of a quiet heart to a sleeping rabbit.
