In the front gardens, even in the rain, I notice the first signs of spring and the greyness of winter giving way to small yellow white and purple flowers. Spring is rising in all the animals which include us humans. So we smile good mornings to our neighbours and put out food for our fellow creatures. I try to save some small spiders who’ve climbed up the water pipes into my bath. I manoeuvre them with my flannel out of the danger zone and put nourishing cake crumbs before them, which terrifies them! Nature isn't always red in tooth and claw. I remember how birds clean crocodiles' teeth in the Nile, and the orphaned animals and birds in the Siberian forests who are adopted into the dens and nests of other creatures even other species as Kropotkin witnessed. And I suddenly pray to God not asking for anything, just to thank him for the wonder of waking up in spring which the rabbis called the little resurrection.
