Walking with Presence, Spring Reminders

I am aware this is only a spring tease for now...

I hear the chirping of birds, the soft song of mother nature.
I feel the sun's gentle embrace that I've missed for quite some time now.
I smell the passing steam of a laundry vent, a reminder of a spring day long ago when my mother was cleaning the house, taking care of us.
I see bare trees and shrub longing to breathe life once again. I am one of them.
I see someone walking, caressing a jacket over their arm, a familiar case of spring's unexpected warmth.
I see a child run and jump from a sidewalk curb, and I am inspired to find that frolic again within me, within us all.
I place my hand on the left side of my chest where my heart rests, and thank spring for the gentle reminder that I am alive still, through all of it.
