winter waited to arrive this year. as a result the magnolias are in full bloom. their sturdy petals and vibrant colors, splash the sky against the knobby limbs they grow from. it is easy to see life full all around. i see it in every flower blooming, and the surprisingly pleasant smiles of glazed humans awaiting the grey. winter lends hand to pensive process and internal growth through hibernation. i love the magnolia flowers in their own time, but i wish for bare limbed days of blank stares and the freedom to be introspective without explanation. as the winter blooms, i wait longingly for spring storms and petals blown across asphalt streets. if seasons have flipped then i look forward for spring, and summer is going to bring a lot of new life to autumn. every season brings new changes. today i choose to deliberately smile with wide-eyes, anticipating the discovery of what i am learning about life.
