What comes back. What we let back in. The long slow work of re-entering our own lives.

Return

A spring orbit. Something is loosening. This week we turn toward what is coming back, and what we are finally ready to let come back.

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,

hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees 

Early Spring

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.

The Thaw

I think I lost myself somewhere quiet,
between fear and days I couldn’t name.
But here, in this moment,
something still reaches for light.
I am learning the shape of my own voice again,
letting it tremble, letting it stay.
What I’m ready to grow
is not who I was—
but who I am,
unafraid to begin.
