Go Ahead

Go ahead. Grow.  This is the season of the sap running.  Of the sleepy plants and animals waking from dormancy.  Plants green.  Animals resume their active lives.  Movement replaces stillness.  The deep energy of Earth pulses through all of us.
"I'm going to plant a heart in the earth
water it with love from a vein
I'm going to praise it with the push of muscle
and care for it in the sound of all dimensions.
I'm going to leave a heart in the earth
so it may grow and flower
a heart that throbs with longing
that adores everything green
that will be strength and nourishment for birds
that will be the sap of plants and mountains."
                     --Rosario Murillo
