Days to cherish

These days before Spring have a new poignance about them.  Rather than waiting for buds to bloom, I am taking in the last days of leafless trees.  I let myself marvel at the intricate structures soon to be covered with leaves.  I notice how their majestic patterns frame the sky.  I honor the rooted strength within earth.  These are days to cherish as any other.  This is beauty to witness as any other.
