EQUINOX DANCE

DUTCHMAN'S BREECHES
We passed the equinox last week, but here in Central Illinois we feel like we are deep into spring. The year is waxing, and everywhere life is expanding. 


In the forest, tiny microcosms emerge: whole colonies of Dutchman's Breeches, Trout Lily, Mayapple.


Take a look at the lists of words below. Add to the list if you like.


Look outward into the world; look inward into your heart. Ask yourself: "What is growing, expanding, blooming, rising in my life?"


Write about it.

TROUT LILY, OR DOG TOOTH VIOLET
