There is something magic about rain drenched branches. All dust is washed away and the colour is shiny and saturated. When those branches are holding the opening buds of blossom also drenched in rain drops there is a promise of increasing daylight and the eventual return of Summer. Like tears, it is release - the release of gloom.
Another sign of the end of Winter is the blooming of Zygos with strings of flowers transparent to the light cascading like a waterfall from the central plant. The petals open like wings and give the impression that at any second they will take flight.
With both a soft and joyful light shines through lifting spirits and announcing the birth point of a new cycle. |
