The Season Between

A Winter to Spring Reflection

Winter does not leave all at once.
It loosens.

The ground does not declare its readiness; it softens beneath the surface, long before it is visible to the eye. What has been held in stillness—roots, stone, timber, thought—remains quiet, but no longer fixed. There is a subtle yielding, almost imperceptible, where what was once firm begins to give.

This is not yet spring.
But winter is no longer absolute.
