I didn't find any pot of gold, although the sky was golden in it's own way
When someone leaves food by turtle pond, all the residents come ashore, including Canadian geese, Wood Ducks, and some curious helmetted kids
Each day now, it seems, new trees push out their buds. Today I noticed catkins hanging in profusion from the bare branches of one Alder
Close to the stream and underfoot, I found some Stinging Nettle and Elderberry shoots.
Each day is filled with golden moments
even in life as resistance, in these chaotic times
in these days of testing our humanity
