It is so awesome to have sunshine in a vase

Yesterday, around 5 pm my time,

Something very special happened

The Vernal Equinox occurred

IT'S SPRINGTIME, BABY!!!

Today

I hope you will join in the celebration

All posts are about celebrating

The end of winter

And the beginning of Spring

No Parting Shot today as the photo set is rather long

AOM Meditations: SPRINGTIME!

Spring Garden I by Anne Hamilton

~*~

“The alchemist was dazed and dumbfounded, as the true meaning of the magic was revealed: *The dead will rise from glade to glen and ancient will be young again*. The dead had, after all, risen. From dead and dry things there was growth, and new life everywhere. And the endlessly long winter had at last turned to spring. From life to death and back again to life. It was indeed the greatest magic in the world.” 

~Lauren Oliver

“sweet spring is your

time is my time is our

time for springtime is lovetime

and viva sweet love

(all the merry little birds are

flying in the floating in the

very spirits singing in

are winging in the blossoming)

lovers go and lovers come

awandering awondering

but any two are perfectly

alone there's nobody else alive

(such a sky and such a sun

i never knew and neither did you

and everybody never breathed

quite so many kinds of yes)

not a tree can count his leaves

each herself by opening

but shining who by thousands mean

only one amazing thing

(secretly adoring shyly

tiny winging darting floating

merry in the blossoming

always joyful selves are singing)

sweet spring is your

time is my time is our

time for springtime is lovetime

and viva sweet love” 

~e. e. cummings

“And the Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.” 

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

And now a poem by AOM about Spring

Spring is here

Let's drink some beer

Is Fuckin' A!

CELEBRATING MALE BEAUTY & SPRING

A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile, 

available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar.

Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility, 

vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy, 

and passionate bloom of youth.

We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages, 

we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire.

~Diane Ackerman,

(A Natural History of the Senses, 1990, p. 13)

"People from a planet without flowers 

would think we must be mad with joy the whole time 

to have such things about us." ~Iris Murdoch

“A flower blossoms for its own joy.” ~Oscar Wilde

“It is spring again. 

The earth is like a child 

that knows poems by heart.” 

~Rainer Maria Rilke

“I can still bring into my body the joy I felt at seeing the first trillium of spring, which seemed to be telling me, "Never give up hope, spring will come.”  ~Jessica Stern

“And the birds sang their songs of love. And the flowers serenaded with their sublime fragrances. And the whole world fell in love in spring!” ~Avijeet Das

“Winter is sitting; 

autumn is walking; 

summer is running, 

but the Spring is flying!” 

~Mehmet Murat ildan

"Spring is Nature's way of saying,

'LET'S PARTY!' "

~Robin Williams
