oh hello spring!

Spring feels so new and surprising, though after an unseasonably warm winter, it feels less so. The link is to a really thought-provoking blog about this by my friend Mary... she's a great writer.

However, the recent humid, blustery days mark that it IS March and not February. A lot has been blowing around in my life too. The winds of spring feel like the winds of change; and there is almost no aspect of my life that has been left un-fluttered by my swirling thoughts.

Today has been a day where my body said to my mind, "Sorry lady. No more of this running around, blowing to and fro. Time to just rest. I can't do it anymore." And my mind said, "Okay body. That sounds good to me too." My mind and body are not always synchronized as one. I need days like today has been when I can remind myself that I am my body and my mind.

One of the best things I did today was talk to a farmer. A real organic urban farmer. Named Lew. In my Internet wanderings, I found something on a CSA page written by Lew. (What's a CSA? Awesome. Here's more info. ) Farmer Lew said that he is always looking for people who like to wallow in the dirt to help around planting time.

HELLO! This whole week, I have been thinking about how it's the time to plant seeds and how I wish I had somewhere to plant them! I emailed Farmer Lew right away. He called me within an hour. We're planting tomorrow. I can feel the life it will give me already! I'll keep you posted...
