Chinese Snowballs at Huntington Gardens

For a few hours our minds are happy prisoners
of plants and trees in full April bloom,
recent rains returning a truer green
to our LA landscape, even the cacti
grateful for the plentiful showers
which broke years of drought.
We forget the danger that fills our nightly
news, the warnings from journalists,
that feeling of being bombarded
from every direction with no escape –
yet we do, set free in these gardens
seeded from every continent.
Who would guess there are so many
types of aloe, both local and as faraway
as Madagascar and Brazil?
The Japanese maples are peaking
in bright red and crimson, while
Chinese snowball trees burst
with festive white pom-poms.
So much beauty, enough for
all who pay attention – whether
hummingbird or freeway driver,
honey bee, lizard, or goose –
the world raging outside impossible
to bring into this conversation.

Today: Persevere and set things right – from the I Ching
Gradually, and with tenacity, progress can be made in setting things right. Without much help, progress is initially slow and fought with obstacles and needless opposition. This serves to instill caution and perseverance. Adaptability and integrity are the key ingredients to success. A delicate balance can be achieved which will require vigilance to maintain, lest it fall into decay. This has happened before as a result of apathy. Don’t let it happen again.

Today: A change of direction – from the I Ching
Signs of renewal are appearing in a time of decay. Light is beginning to dispel the darkness. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage it, for it will not return again for a long time. Approach this time with simplicity. Do not presume a state of wealth before it happens. The lowly have been robbed by the wealthy, reaching a crisis point. What we have is simply a change of direction. Our participation now prevents a total collapse. The last time this happened, it was ignored, to our peril. Carpe diem.
