OSTARA

New seeds push through melting snow as saplings turn towards skies strewn with cumulus waves. Ostara celebrates its namesake — the Spring Equinox — tiled with its alternating moods, a perfect harmony of dark and light. Each moment balances the next, the patchwork season trembling, always on the cusp — or risk — of change. Squalls and bombast give way to fragrant pollen showers. Warmed, sleeping buds wake to cold, bright air. Each instance contains the beginnings of another: a raindrop falls as a petal, a floret blooms into a cloud.
