When I walk through the woods these days, or even when I look out the window from my upstairs office, the world I see is a symphony of green.

It’s happened so quickly, this greening. Less than two weeks ago, the forest was still a winter one, especially given that many of the early flowering trees are the ones people plant in their yards not the ones that grow naturally on their own. 

But whether cultivated or wild, the world is greening, and I wish I could hold onto it this way.
