Breaking Into Blossom

Suddenly I realize 
That if I stepped out of my body 
I would break
Into blossom.

                                        - James Wright: A Blessing

I have a feeling when this long winter finally ends, and we feel the warmth of spring on our faces, many of us will break into blossom.

    I am so ready for spring! A foot of snow on the way tonight but it will just water all that life waiting for us in the soil. Three new birdhouses are up and seeds have been sown. It will be here sooner rather than later! Love that Mucha print!

    Similar feeling I had this morning when looking out of the garden window. The sun is shining & melting a light frost , looking over to the greenhouse I could see the bright pink peach blossoms. A happy feeling indeed!

    You live in BC, right? So, is the weather harsh there in winter or mild like in some portions in Washington state in the US? Yes, I hope we all will blossom as the weather warms up though I have already started blossoming with the approaching spring :-). Very nicely written.

    Spring is already here in this part of Europe. Mind you it has not been much of a winter any way (not that I am compaining!)
    I think that when the daffodils appear then Spring is truly present.

    Oh, yes, I believe you're right! I'm ready to break out in blossoms - unfortunately, my garden is just not quite there yet. But soon....!

    I keep watering myself with that hope. Bulbs are popping up under the snow, so I am sure there will soon be colors outside other than white.

    This is a lovely post.
