Welcome to Gaia! ::

What is everyone's plan for this spring? Easter is big, really big for me, so I'll be doing that- what about everyone else?

Some celebration can be as simple as mindfulness. So often we walk through life oblivious to what is around us. As someone who is pretty Nature-centered, I celebrate the seasons through being more mindful of them than most. I watch the squirrels in the backyard every day. And the birds too. I watch the leaves every day, and each day notice them unfurling a little more, a little more. I watch the buds of flowers form. I watch them bloom with their radiant colors. I listen to the sound of the wind. I watch the clouds, admire their texture and color. I watch the last few leaves from fall still clinging on and wonder when they'll at last detach from the branches.
