And, just in time, the wisteria is at last showing signs of coming into blossom. It has been an anxious time waiting for these slow developments just as we complete so many of the processes of packing.
Today as I collected the Hi Fi we stood outside the store chatting briefly with a fabulous engineer called Derek. He had rebuilt the Linn Sondek, rewired the arm, installed a new cartridge and methodically packed it all up for me in its correct box, ready for shipment. And, just as we spoke about moving to the US, a dragonfly landed on the tip of my index finger and stayed there calmly for a minute or two.
It seemed a propitious moment and, perhaps, a good luck sign for the future, and a perfect metaphor of change and transformation...

At last...at last...the wisteria has begun to unfold!
I am so grateful. For the past six weeks, in the cold and bitter spring, it has often felt as though we might not see our garden in its height of beauty before we left. But, now, in late May, we have what would have been only seen in early May. The gorgeous blossoms of iris, and poppy and rose and wisteria are all blooming now, as if to send us on our way.
When things are pending, in a seemingly endless sort of way, the joy that is unleashed in the beginning of the change, the shift, the movement...well, that joy releases so much pent up energy and passion.
That is what has been released in me today, on this sunny day in England, 73 degrees Fahrenheit, warm and bright and filled with all that is yet-to-be.
