Happy Equinox! Spring in New England is a tricky thing, mostly non-existent. I've been reading a lot of TS Eliot this week which is a really bad sign. Monday was a nice-ish day and I explored some inspiring photos online to get myself in the mood. Well, really to get myself out of my mood. Then Wednesday I awoke to MORE SNOW so I immediately packed up my love and went to Fiddlehead Farms to purchase three dozen tulips to ward off suicide for another week. Hours later, TJ and I were in stitches as a huge swarm of birds pecked around our yard in the falling snow. It was nice to see and hear birds and I am hoping these bits of life springing up around me are indicative of the end of winter!
On a global scale, I have been deeply saddened by the uprisings in Tibet. The Tibetan struggle is one I have studied extensively and their history over the last few decades has been a seemingly endless decline. Their battle should be a reminder to us of the value of our freedom, something many of us take for granted every day while others die for just a chance. I came across this amazing blog today that really touched me. It explores of the lives of Tibetan refugees living in India coupled with some really beautiful photography.
