Looking out my window is similar...though without the forsythia! I should have clipped some branches when I saw some about to open the other day. But it was on the town property so who knows what might have happened had I done so!
Spring is much celebrated in my life these days. When I worked, raised a family, and spent my 8-5 hours inside and my home hours either feeding, laundering, cleaning house, sleeping and maybe having some entertainment, it was only on weekends and holidays, vacations too, when I could get into my source of spiritual connection - nature.
The window view does help. I see how weather changes, light from sunshine makes different colors (unfortunately not while I write this). The ever present mountain above the other side of the valley...saying stability in earth...ancient movements and gradual changes have created this form that I see.
I look at videos of Kilauea with it's current eruption and am amazed that lava is coming up from the center of the earth (or somewhere down there.) The same forces that made these mountains, where my footsteps are so miniscule in comparison to it's stability. One mountain just gradually wears down with rain and wind, another spews forth molten rock and gases. All on this same earth!
It's amazing.
