It's happening...

Every year, it sneaks up on me - the turning of the seasons is upon us! Yes, it can be cold. And rainy, And windy, And cloudy. And generally not very different from the winter weather that we’ve been walking through for the past few months. And yet, it is different, things are changing. If you look closely you can see the grey and brown of winter even amidst the increasingly strident yellows that have the smell of spring. And the flowers are well on their way, blessed be!

This is the archetypical time of new growth and rebirth, and boy do we need it. That and healing as well. I’m going to push myself to be hopeful and optimistic, even in the face of all the ills of our poor planet.

Humans are great at making a muddle of things, even with the best of intentions. A few days past the vernal equinox, I’m hoping for a resurgence of rationality and positive energy. After all, why not?
