Ahhh, Spring!

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Donna Mitchell-Moniak

The geese are headed north. It’s amazing to watch them follow the lei lines of the Earth. Maybe their heart is their compass, directly pointing forward and down at the same time as they fly.

Similarly, two days ago there were two song birds adding their song to the morning. Yesterday, more than a dozen.

A young skunk seems to be scoping out the loft of our old leaning barn for this year’s kits. We’ll see if we can gently dissuade that. There’s too much comings and goings in that barn for a skunk and the humans.

Maple syrup is boiled down in the neighbor’s sugar shack, and we’re making decisions on laying hens (the breed, a moveable chicken tractor pen or free roaming with a moveable electric fence). And the seeds set inside the house for early planting are sprouting. Ahhhh, joyous Spring!

(PS. Any suggestions on the hens from your experience?)

  1. Indrajit Rathore – Jaipur, Rajasthan, India – I am a retired Indian diplomat living in the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India. I am interested in spirituality, mysticism, theology, art, museum development and archeological sites. I have published a book of poems - Primal Colour and Introspections on the Gita which was launched last year at the Jaipur Literature festival. I am also deeply interested in observing nature and animal behaviour. Related to my interest in spirituality is my obsession in reading about New Age thought which seeks to align spirituality and mysticism with science to show that they are indeed two sides of the same coin. My writings and poems support this view that as science progresses it appears to get more and more mystical in its findings, particularly at the sub atomic levels - The findings of Quantum Physics for instance are not very different from the findings of mystical seers and thinkers of yore about the nature of reality- a revolution in thought bringing to gether science and spirit appears to have gathered momentum in the 20th and now the 21st centuries. Most of my life I have been intrigued by the concept of the Soul. Every faith speaks of it, many scholars have written about it, both in the past and in what is called New Age literature. In common parlance too we refer to Soul so often. Yet it is the most ambiguous of concepts to truly comprehend. My curiosity led me to research what the different scriptures say about it – all refer to it. Later I sought to understand its metaphysical significance and reality and even experience its presence mystically through meditation, poetry, music and literature. My primary blog entitled SEARCH FOR THE SOUL therefore tries to share whatever I have gleaned from diverse sources on the subject and to invite feed back which could help to enlighten me further on the subject. My second blog however presents only my poems on mystical insights and experiences, nature and animal behavior, human relationships, heritage and culture, peoples lands and travel, faith, the cosmos, God and revered Hindu deities and introspection. I regard my poems as thought forms having an organic reality of their own. they arise from a lifetime of mystical introspection, the experience of living or my interface with nature and find expression through the rhythms of the mind. At times, it is the rhythm that initiates the grasping of a thought. At others, it is the thought, grown pregnant, that arouses a rhythm and sometimes they come together. I hope they will strike a sympathetic chord in the reader and recreate in his mind the same complex experience which spurred their creation.

    nice – always wondered how the tree knows precisely when and how to do things, without a nervous system or a brain – must be some other system that is as good only different – yes trees do know when the gardener comes to water them that he is approaching and too the man with the saw!

      It seems that basically every form of life on Earth knows more or different than humans do, and that humans know different types of things and in different ways than many other kingdoms or species. Evolution is a rich pondering.
