In Swedish there is an expression ”mellan hägg och syren” – ”between bird cherry and lilac”.
The saying refers to the time from when first, the bird cherry to when then, the lilac blooms. The expression is said to originate from a cobbler’s sign saying his shop was closed “mellan hägg och syren”.
Many consider this the most beautiful time of the year.
It is the pre summer time, where everything is vibrant, crisp and brand new.
I have a bird cherry tree just outside my front door. Next to it is a lilac shrub. They are in full bloom, giving off a delicious scent.
These pre summer days are long and luscious. The sun tender and the air balmy. A pre summer scent I dearly appreciate is the scent of bright yellow fields of canola bloom.
This is the time of the blackbird singing.
My favorite pre summer time sound is the sound swallows do while circling the sky.
I enjoy packing my picnic basket heading out for a hike in the wilderness. I’m really big on hiking. I love being totally still in nature, practicing being present with the senses, one by one. First with eyes closed focusing only on hearing. Then, drinking sips of tea, focusing only on tasting. Then focusing only on feeling the air against my cheek. Then slowly running my hand over a tree branch, truly feeling the touch. Then giving a flower my full attention, my full presence, focusing only on seeing. Then feeling into the inner worlds, just being still and present.
I am in awe at how luscious and abundant this world is. These are truly delicious times.
What do you give your attention to? What do you see in this world? What do you think, feel and speak into existence?
