Some consider that the start of March marks the start of Spring, even though this grey and misty morning in Kildare was not particularly Spring-like. However, there are little signs all around, birds gathering twigs for nests, buds on trees and big splashes of colour:

The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight.

The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.

May Sarton.

There is nothing you can see that is not a flower;

There is nothing you can think that is not the moon

There are myriads of forms and hundreds of grasses throughout the entire earth,

and yet each grass and each form itself is the entire earth.
