A time when we traverse from spring towards summer. It’s a time of emergence and rapid growth, the air full of insects and birdsong. There is such a palpable sense that we are headed for the brightness of summer – the warmth and light feel a bit more reliable, we can dare to trust in the season in ways we couldn’t six weeks ago at the equinox. And, with the lengthening of the days, there are things that have been brought into focus and clarity that maybe before were held in shadow.
