      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m back at my desk and ready to have a go at all of this again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coming out of a hazy period, and I&amp;rsquo;ve found my way back here. I&amp;rsquo;ve got plans and schemes, so this should be fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s Spring here, but it&amp;rsquo;s been warm all year.  Some things started budding more than a month ago, and yet other trees are still bare sticks. But they&amp;rsquo;re trying. It&amp;rsquo;s a confusing time to try sprout and grow, I should know. It&amp;rsquo;s getting green, but I&amp;rsquo;m ready for it to be greener. The closer it gets, the more I realize I need that full-on, late-spring green explosion. I can only pray we&amp;rsquo;ll get a week or two of rain between now and then. The land needs it and I need it too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I always want things to break cleanly. A distinct point from which to &lt;em&gt;start&lt;/em&gt;, to push off from. And we manufacture them, culturally: New Year&amp;rsquo;s, birthdays, Mondays. And I try to key off of them as often as I can and yet, I doubt my success rate is any better for doing that then the times I didn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because things don&amp;rsquo;t work like that. Winter doesn&amp;rsquo;t end and the switch is flipped into Spring.  Things just &lt;em&gt;happen.&lt;/em&gt; Or they don&amp;rsquo;t. Or they happen at the wrong time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is happening now. How miraculous is that? (&lt;a href=&#34;https://cecilspeaks.tumblr.com/post/617381511381073920/167-echo&#34; target=&#34;blank&#34;&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will always be in that most dangerous, most exciting, most possible time of all: the Now. Where we never can know what shape the next moment will take. Stay tuned next for, well, let’s just find out together, shall we?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
