Something Good
January Edition

nothing of any goodness, just more
news of other things […]”
Margaret Atwood, excerpt from Paper Boat
Even though it may not feel like it, even when we don’t see them, the buds are there. Waiting.
Love that poem--it's a great reminder, too! I always think about that when I look out at our Silver Maple, because its buds are HUGE, and look a little like flowers waiting to bloom, even in the dead of winter, you can feel its anticipation.
