“The seasons are our Scripture text,” writes Celtic spiritualist Christine Valters Paintner. “This earth we are riding keeps trying to tell us something with its continuous Scripture of leaves,” echoes William Stafford, the late poet and pacifist. To the ancient Celts, the unfolding of the seasons read as “gospel without haste.”
“Creation is here and now,” wrote Henry Beston, the naturalist and Yankee poet, in a letter to an old friend. “We are not living on a mechanism running down like a clock but on an earth sustained by an ever-creating, outpouring stream of the divine imagination.” Springtime, when one minute the tenderlings are breaking through the Earth’s thawing crust and then — kebang! — the snows fall. It is the season for teaching resilience. It’s with a pang in the heart that we tiptoe out in the dawn, to dust the ice cakes and crystals off the furled petals of snowdrops and earliest daffodils.
