Episode notes
Spring's Prank
- The narrator noticed dandelions by the creek, but it snowed shortly after, seemingly delaying spring's arrival.
- However, the narrator realized that nature doesn't follow a straight line, and spring's temporary retreat didn't negate its eventual return.
Nature's Spiral
- Nature's cycles of spiraling, pivoting, retreating, and restarting teach us that we're meant to do the same.
- We shouldn't judge natural processes, and similarly, we shouldn't judge our own ebbs and flows.
Creekside Stroll
- After the snow melted, the narrator saw the dandelions still blooming, inspiring a trip to the creek.
- Before heading out, the narrator admired and watered pansies and noticed deer tracks on the patio stones.
