The first foothills wildflower is blooming!


Today when I hiked up to my wintertime meditation spot high on a south-facing slope in the foothills, I discovered a blossom of the very first wildflower of the season peeking up above the dried grass! The sun-heated rock lying next to this Spring-beauty flower enabled it to get an early start. Actually, the blooming of the other Spring-beauty blossoms won't occur for another month. But this forerunner brings me a taste of the expansive state of mind and heart that is so much a part of Spring and Summer!
