"And Spring arose from the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere,
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintery rest."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley ~
Spring is truly an incredible phenomenon- that the seemingly dead and drab winter landscape bursts to life in yellow, purple, pink, white, red, and such endless shades of green! I've always been more of a fall person than a spring person, but this spring just seems excessively exquisite. Maybe it's that I've never seen it quite so clearly before. It is hope delivered, and the fresh light of warmth and renewal.
And something about the spring feels happy as well- with everything waking up and saying hello with such enthusiasm. Let's not miss it. It will be gone in a flash.
I am sincerely grateful for the seasonal cycle of spring.
