 and slow curl of violet leaf,

Please read my field notes from a spring morning! Tree swallows scything the air, bluebirds holding the roof, and a human trying to understand the right to a home. 🪶https://open.substack.com/pub/kimberlympost/p/shelter-enough

Between cold and bloom,
 a pulse deepens underground.
 We begin again. #micropoem #tinypoem #haiku

Spring hasn’t greened the meadow yet, but the raptors have arrived! Please check out this week's story of my meadow walking. 🪶https://open.substack.com/pub/kimberlympost/p/the-pause-before-the-greening?r=g7dvs&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Even in frost soil,
 something unseen is moving –
 a promise with roots. #micropoem #tinypoem #haiku

Late March, thin snow, a woodcock dancing in brown leaves. On thresholds and small, brave sounds. Please take a moment to read! open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

Thoughts deep as dusk pools,
 wild minds open in meadow –
 deer breathing, still here. #tinypoem #micropoem #haiku

All life is breathing, 
even the hollow between 
the stillness listens. #micropoem #tinypoem #haiku

Ostara is supposed to be balance – light returning, bulbs pushing through frozen ground. This year, it also brought a crow under the spruces and a report to IFW. “Emissary of the Altered Sky” is my latest meadow meditation on thresholds, grief, and spring. open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

The world is thinking,
 roots and stars in one long dream – 
we wake as the whole. #micropoem #tinypoem #haiku

With their unmistakable cry, red-winged blackbirds embody the energy of transition. Some teachings describe them as guardians of marshes ... others say their songs help guide the world from cold darkness into light.🪶 open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

I’ve been writing into the tension of this moment: human rights violated, communities splintered, the Earth bearing so much of our forgetting. This is my attempt to listen for the fragile threads of belonging that remain... and to honor how love persists 🙏🏻🪶 kimberlympost.substack.com/p/a-bell-a-b...
