Hoppin down the bunny trail

With Easter on our door step it just seems apropos to look at where we are and, where we are going. Seeing how Easter represents a fresh start, or a new beginning from our longest days of winter, I am always excited as the vernal equinox approaches. It is the balance point between winter and summer when you need your heater in the morning, and a T-shirt in the afternoon. When you can still get hypothermia, and sunburned all in the same day! When upland chorus frogs call in the after afternoon, and get quite in the evening. When tom turkeys gobble,.. but are still in winter flocks. It is still neat to watch everything try to reach a homeostasis. As the year ramps up into full speed ahead we are often given the opportunities to take a new path or direction. I am thinking that we shouldn't spend a lot of time worrying whether a certain path is the right one, but to just follow our instincts for a change. After all... it has been working for us for thousands of years, and so far so good. It all balances out.
If following your instincts is good enough for the birds, bee's, bunnies, and bison, it ought to be good enough for us! It's just the fear of the unknown that screws us up. Heck... we ain't gettin off of this mud ball alive anyway. So if we aren't afraid of dying, why should we be afraid of living?
For those of you who recognize where these pictures are from, you know these roads are completely different...and coming from different directions, but the destination still ends in the same place....where it all began.....home.


Have a great spring, we deserve it! Yohon.
