Was it ever really winter?  Spring has rushed in to sweep away any remnants of winter. The lilacs are in bloom and the grass is a beautiful shade of emerald...how quickly we forget the ice and snow!  It is one of the reasons I love living in New England...the impermanence of the seasons lends to a sense of mindfulness of the changes.  As with life, when things are going particularly smoothly or are especially difficult, we assume and perceive their permanence and continued existence in perpetuity. Letting go of the expectation of permanence allows you to experience the moment mindfully...and perhaps to "be like a flower and turn your face to the sun".

 
Wishing you a month of mindfulness,
