The light begins to return today. The season of the dormant seed.. potential and hope. This is my favorite season.. this part of the life cycle.. for the promise of life being held within the shell deep of the seed in the ground as the visions that come after the harvest now must lie in wait.. and, for the potential of each seed.. between now and the great turning in early February when the light shifts to a sweet pastel yellow is the time to consider the seeds to be planted the coming cycle. As a tender of plants and soil and other living things this metaphor for this season speaks to me. What seeds will you plant this year?

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings he tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
~ Emily Dickinson
Forever Young
(Forever young)
May god bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you..
May you build a ladder
To the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay..
Forever Young.
~ Bob Dylan
MLK day of service at Trail Creek
Human progress is neither automatic or inevitable.. Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
~Martin Luther King Jr
