The ground began to thaw and in a flash it was Spring, time to make their way into that other world, the world of Light.
I observed each day as they gingerly emerged, their fragile petals unfurling in a gift of surrender.
They had no way of knowing that change had been afoot in the world of Light as they slept safe and warm in the protective darkness.
Rules were changing, nothing was as it had been, the warmth, the cold, the light and the dark.
The Bell Jars were placed for protection before the snow fell, days later they reemerged, safe in their glass houses.
The thought occurred….. is there a Bell Jar large enough to protect our collective humanity, our all too human hearts, the world of Light we live in?

I absolutely love this! Planet Earth does need a Bell Jar.

I don’t know if it’s the picture’s influence, but this piece seems almost delicate. Kind of a “hush” about it.
Would there was “a Bell Jar large enough to protect our collective humanity”.
Lovely piece and a wonderful Six Sentence 🙂
Will you come by my blog on Thursday and link it up? I’d love for anyone not familiar with your website to be able to read it. While the official start of the blog hop is Thursday, I open the link on Wednesday night, US EST.

Great idea for any climate that has a Cold period during the winter months. Your post gives me a nudge that I may need to do a little gardening. Ha, Ha. No, but really.

Thanks for reading. I am ruminating on a piece about compost…..both literal and figurative and how a gardener will share just about anything from their garden, but Never their compost.
