Sydney, I love this post! "wishes and hopes and dreams don't have to come true to have value" - So spot on! Your photos are stunning. I have spent my life fascinated by maple seed pods. The unfurling of spring is always full of wonder. You have captured some here in this post!
Thanks so much, Pamela! It was definitely the reminder I needed at that moment, and I’m glad to hear I was not alone in that! I seriously never get tired of watching the samaras develop each year, they are endlessly fascinating 💕
I like this so very much! I read it just after publishing a new poem about bearing fruit, and tending to our own gifts. As I read your piece I thought, "wow, could the timing be any more perfect?" Thanks for sharing 💚
Beautiful post Sydney! Thank you for waking me to your point of view on what matters. Must say Samaras have always convinced me that we are all connected....as in all living things. For me, these little winged seed pods could just as easily be dropping from a nest!

Thanks so much, Sandy! So true, they really are beautiful symbols of connection.
