Project: Sprout & About

Hello, hi;

(I hope things are going fine)

I have got bits to share, although it hasn’t been that long since. Or however you want to take it. An update. For you …maybe for me. Finding it hard to pick the words.

Winter has arrived; it’s February now, ending. It came very suddenly, the change of season. It’s cold, sunny sometimes. To think that the last time you knew, we didn’t even have snow. It was like a strange fall that wouldn’t end.

To go back in memory. Yes, I had big plans for the greenhouse. I slowly lost my drive for it. Just let it slip, kind of. Confused about all the emotions. But I know you wouldn’t judge.

Believe me, the motivation is coming back, and I wanted to let you know. I will do it better this time. Or just different. Study the book.

I have changed my routine since. Starting my mornings early, often going to the city. And I know it’s good. Be the busy bee! That’s what I am. Waiting for the bus in the darkness. Or be the early bird, catching the worm. Except that everything is frozen, so where are the worms?

Millions of diamonds in the ground, one more ordinary than the other. It is nothing and everything at the same time. Presence. Being present. I am breathing in the crispy fresh air.

In those brief moments, it feels alright. Here in our little town, it’s quiet, it’s calm. Nothing is moving, nothing is growing. Still, truly beautiful. And then the bus comes… Breathing in the fresh air once more.

The days pass like that. I crave something with meaning. I think about the greenery that once was. Now, I cannot get to the greenhouse. Piles of snow are blocking the door. It has frozen closed. That happened sometime in December. We wouldn’t speak about it anymore back then.

But you know, I have plants inside. It has been a game of survival. Nurture a few with water. These will grow. Something to look forward to, and I know you would be proud.

It has been odd; something is missing. I want to feel more grounded, want to see those seeds sprout, bear fruit again. I want to share a picture with you. I know you would like it.

And Happy Valentine’s Day ❤ A day that has already passed, but it was important. This is how the days come, only to go. Winter will soon go, too.

It was not much, I know. But that is how it is. With hopes to share some more, maybe you will come along.

Somewhere, somehow.

Yours always, karosprout ❤
