It is two days away from Imbolc and here in Kyoto something is stirring. This morning the winter light's harshness seemed to be softening; one of the first signs of spring. I had a lot to do today, but somehow I new I had to make time to visit an old friend in the afternoon. This old friend is an Ume tree (plum). If trees have astrological signs, this one is an Aries. It is about two weeks away from when most Ume will start to bloom and about four weeks away from full blossom. But from past experience I knew this one does not have the patience to wait and by Imbolc beautiful red flowers are starting to bloom. I was not disappointed.
