What could be more fitting? April arrived yesterday with her proverbial showers that will bring May flowers, as well as skunk cabbage leaves from this plant.
A spring rain is a good time to get booted and walk slowly through a bog, smell the wet earth and emerging flora, and listen for raindrops plinking their own targets. If you take your hands off your mental wheel there, you sometimes can imagine feeling the faint rhythms of a different life.
