Hmmmmm... Ian, what you've said here is very
interesting. It is these white flowers blooming,
these very black birch trees. After all this rain, so
much is happening, birds flying about, grass is
taller, more green sprouted, and the trees... all of
them, especially this fat, tall wild cherry tree I see
out the window. The feel, the sound, this whole
experience... yes, I'm "dumbing down" this event,
unless, you feel with depth not only in heart, mind,
but... oh, I can't even begin to tell you. Sniff,
sniff, hmmm... smells wonderful... the air!!
woods,
