For those of us living in the southern latitudes today is the first day of spring. We have lots of fruit trees on our place and some of the plums are already in full blossom. I love watching the flower buds develop. In my mind they are like little fists sticking out from the branches, clenched tightly, trying to resist the force from within that is making them swell up, they really hold on if the weather is cold, but they eventually have to stop resisting and let go, and wow, in total contrast to the barren aggressiveness of the winter fists, a beautiful hand opens out with petals for fingers.
You know sometimes I think there is something in me that God wants to blossom, but I am resisting, hanging on tightly...I wonder, should I trust and let go?
