“Just a little green…”
A neighbor who lives in the top floor of the building across the street, and thus has a spectacular view of the maples in front of my house writes:
“The buds on your tree are more numerous than yesterday, and more visibly that color that Joni Mitchell sang about: “just a little green, like the color when the spring is born...” And we’re getting a good, soaking rain. Happy Spring!”
I have heard the song so many times, I do not need to look it up, except to share both with those for whom it is not part of an intimate map of a long ago period and with those for whom it is and who will have, by just seeing the words (and even more so by listening), some upsurge of memories and a revelation of the miraculous play of consciousness.

Jnana and Vijnana (and the State of the Garden)
When teaching meditation, Paul Muller-Ortega says that we need both to practice with awareness (gain experiential knowledge) and to study the texts and teachings (explore theoretical knowledge).
With the dirt blanketed in snow and ice, it is time for jnana–time to study and theorize about possibilities for the coming gardening season.

Have you hugged (or otherwise taken care of or sent loving energy to) a tree today? Have you paused to appreciate the shade and delicious air trees provide you?
