Life, in another form London, ON April 2020 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
My first thought was that life had returned once more. But then I thought about it a little more and came to the conclusion that I had been mistaken.
Saying that life had returned implied that it hadn't been there previously. Which was most certainly not the case.
The earth in the shadows of our doorstep may have been dormant and grey for months. But it was anything but lifeless. Life had been there all along, lying dormant below the surface, waiting for just the right time to re-emerge.
Just because we can't see the blooms doesn't mean there is no life.
As the dog pulled on her leash and we put this miniature emerging miracle behind us, I smiled at the prospect of life taking on many forms, of the precious color taking shape just below our noses, and of our collective need to appreciate the little things no matter what they might look like at any given moment in time.
