The twig is so brave
No matter how much snow or ice
It puts forth a shoot
Takes the risk of life
The tree itself reproducing
Despite the cold, the chill
With faith that spring will come
The twig emerges strong
even sprouts a berry
for the hardy birds.

I've been taking long walks almost every day, except when the snow is falling hard. This has given me a chance to see so much more of the natural world.

It is truly remarkable how the buds form on the twigs in the Fall and then, hang on through the harshest of conditions to blossom in the Spring.
Nature's wisdom is so inspiring.
