"God showed me in my palm....."

There are definite signs of Spring this day.  Faith in the promise of spring is being rewarded.

Julian of Norwich wrote, "God showed me in my palm a little thing round as a ball about the size of a hazelnut.  I looked at it with the eye of my understanding and asked myself, "what is this thing?'"  And I was answered. "it is everything that is created.'"

Walking back from the mailbox just now, I veered over to my lilac bush, just to speak to the bush and ask if it might not still consider blooming.  And right then and there, I spotted a bud.  Two buds.  And more.  

I will dwell on this kept promise.
