Beautiful! My Minnesota childhood was in Bloomington, a ginormous suburb of Minneapolis, way back in the 1960s, but yes, winter was grand but spring was always anticipated and enjoyed. It felt like someone flipped a switch, and at long last winter began to slowly slip away.
Your skill with words is much appreciated. Potential to kinetic is a keeper! And your insight into the abortion issue is a breath of fresh air. So many of us seem to need to see everything in black and white...oops! There's another one...
Touched my heart again! When you write from the awareness within your senses, language flows through you unlike anyone else I have ever read….thank you!❤️
Your phrasing "infinite cycles from potential to form and back again" is evocative of exactly what the "tai ji tu" symbol is trying to represent.
The TCM teaching I have received postulates a lifetime as a natural "arc" in which a being which begins as pure "jing" (or, [inherited] potential), continually transforms "jing" into "shen" (spirit/experience/consciousness) through the processes of living, and naturally ends the process when it has transformed all of its "jing" into "shen".
Obviously, many people do meet a premature, non-natural end, "before their time" as it were, and yet all of us are somewhere on a natural lifetime's trajectory that has a natural beginning and a natural end, between which lie endless transformations.
Thank you for celebrating the "upswing" (which in the Chinese 5 phase theory corresponds to the springing upward nature of Wood. :)
