GOING BAREFOOT THROUGH THESE DAYS Which Make Our Hearts Sing “The coming of Spring reminds us And all living things that even the darkest And stormiest days of winter will not last forever, And that we can celebrate the certain renewal of life And the rebirth of goodness and gentler times.” —Yeshe Gyamtso Spring is now emerging slowly With luxurious sweet warm days That invite us to delightfully Leave the darkness of winter behind. It is time to let the fire in our wood stove, Which we kept burning through Every storm and every freezing night, Go out and put the firewood away. It is now time to celebrate life’s Sweet resurgence after so many days Of stormy darkness and roaring winds Which seemed to go on forever. It is time to dance naked and free In the moonlight midnight with my beloved— It is time to listen to the songs of Joyous exaltation being sung all around us. It is time to go for long walks in the Lush and gentle evenings as the sun sets— It is time to weed the garden so overgrown with new green and prune the apple trees and roses. It is time to take the time to go out through Canyons and mountains to swim in crystal clear rivers—- It is time to make our grateful pilgrimage to those Sacred secret ocean beaches only we know about. It is time to stand in our yard and watch as wild Geese fly over honking on their way north to summer homes— A time for listening to the buzzing of honeybees flitting Among bright flower blossoms to collect their nectar. It is time to pick strawberries from their vines That survived being frozen under mounds of snow— And time to cheer up as we tune ourselves to the symphony Of lady bugs, birds, butterflies and frogs in the creek. And it is time to greet all the sweet changes this Coming spring will certainly bring for all living beings— A time for putting away our heavy coats and boots and go Barefoot through these glorious days which make our hearts sing. —May 12 and 14, 2024 Still Mountain Retreat
