A Spring Thing

People get excited about Spring.


I get excited about Spring.


There is something magic about the seeping of green into lawns,


The thousand, thousand leaf spears thrusting through the gray-brown earth,


The dots of color – mostly blue and yellow – so bright, so welcome,


And, above all, the haze of embryonic leaves that clings to tree branches.


All of these are reminders of the power of Life.


It is Life returning—no, not returning, it never left.


It is Life becoming more apparent.


Embrace the pastel haze of Spring.


Celebrate the return of colors, all colors – pastel and bold.


Life is a mosaic kaleidoscope—a dazzling process in which each of us can dance.


So dance.
