60/365 Spring Thaw
The seasons within you
March 2, 2025
Let the thaw begin
Welcome a skein of geese to return home to your heart
Become the bright balm of sun you’ve longed for
A gentle shift of your own season
Welcome a skein of geese to return home to your heart
Longer days will wrap around your frozen shoulders
A gentle shift of your own season
Whispers of green will softly sing spring
Longer days will wrap around your frozen shoulders
Become the bright balm of sun you longed for
Whispers of green will softly sing spring
Let the thaw begin
“Spring Thaw” transports me back to a creative season of awakening. The geese returned then, just as they do now, their V-formations punctuating the sky like nature's own poetry. Their journey mirrors our own internal migrations—the movement from frozen stillness to flowing possibility.
I remember the spring that I kept a "Fake" Journal for April 2017. My first line was… "There's something in my woods…" which started as a page by page mystery as the month went on. Without having any idea where the story would go, I just followed a half-baked idea until spring "sprung" on the page. If you're interested, check it out HERE.
Although I'm still in Mexico, I'm thinking of home, of spring, the changing season. In less than two weeks, I get to become a goose and land back in Manitoba.
INVITATION:
What's beginning to thaw within you? Find a blank page and draw a simple V of geese across the top. Below, write "There's something in my..." and complete the sentence. Let your writing follow wherever it leads, like a skein of geese finding their way back to familiar shores, guided by an inner compass that never fails to bring them home.
See you tomorrow for Day 61, here in the Pantoumery.
What’s a pantoum, you say? I’m writing one each day, for a year. Learn how HERE
