One wishes that with the spring light comes hope – of life, of new starts, of peace. And, perhaps, humbly, one hopes for creation.
Creation is, as Rita Ann Higgins says in Hurting God (Salmon Poetry, 2010), “a combination of the gut, the heart, the mind, the notebook – then the hard work starts.”
Let the combination, and the work start, or rather, make a start within a sliver of light.
