Spring is already showing in those tiny yellow-green buds, showing beneath the parting of their brown, scaly protective encasements.........I'm donning my "Kryptonite Coffin" ring to celebrate the coming of butterflies, bluebirds and orioles....By April we will have forgotten Winter as a mother forgets the pains of childbirth.......and do our Maypole dances with flowers in our locks, before bitching about how hot the Summer will be........This morning, I walked, barefooted, in the back yard, feeling the cold, green bamboo roots, bristling with Life....beneath my toes.......and....'get up off yer ass, Superman....it's just an Hawaiian Volcanic Peridot.…'
