a seed waiting to sprout,
a bulb opening to the light,
a bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dream”

The winds are wild, They chill and bite;
The ground is thick with slush and sleet,
And I barely feel my feet.”

“From December to March,
there are for many of us three gardens -
the garden outdoors,
the garden of pots and bowls in the house,
and the garden of the mind’s eye.”
