The force that through the green fuse drives the flower…
—Dylan Thomas
The first month of the year makes for great hibernation—for hunkering down into the soil of the creative work. For me, January is like the Monday of the year; it gets the “green fuse” going. This month, I sent out a big project into the world (here’s hoping!) and prepared to announce a little one (soon!).
Big or small, all the work happens day by day until one day, what was the bud of an idea finally blossoms. Not unlike the amaryllis above. Though I took the second photo only two weeks after the first, this can be what a year looks like. Or a decade. Or a life.
O—all the planting and tending that precede the beauty of bloom!
Blessings on all the things flowering in your life this year.
Love,
Anna
