What lovely words to love, Julia. "resolve to stay / and stay right where we are." My new mantra, thank you. I know your conversation with James will be rich and memorable!
An authentic call for (active) hope in these times Julia. I love this poem! Yesterday I wrote a poem about the ice melting off the boughs of trees after an ice storm here. I worried for the trees, that they would break from the coat of hardness .... but lo and behold! warmer temps stirred up enough heat to melt the places we think are damaged from frozen. Listening to ice melt in the forest was perfect for the rekindling of my own faith ❤🙏
Thank you for this and all your posts. I read them even if I don't always comment. I laughed a little at the hummingbirds because the first thing Ithought was "they definitely aren't ruby-throated."

Oh Julia, I love this poem so much.
"despite the breathless weight of midwinter,
they have learned that there is plenty."
Nature has so much to teach us. Thank you for seeing this, for capturing it so lovingly in this poem.
