chasing a careless time




this - to still-slightly-foreign me - is the essence of a dutch springtime: not the
symmetric splendour of endless fields of colour, not the flowers unfolding in the pristine greenness of my garden, not the eager twittering of birds from first early light, but the steep slope of the dikes and the frolicking lambs leaping into life's lush newness.
