Essence of Spring

Tiny buds dancing slow into blossom, petals unfolding into vibrant yellow, delicate pink, and kiss-of-life red.

Just when we believe the world can never come alive again; there is Spring.

Lush greens pushing out across the skies above us and below our feet. Sweet, clean air spins new warmth around us whispering: this is a fresh start.

Spring is the single mother who works all day and gets dinner ready. Spring is the cancer patient coming home from chemo and resting. Spring is the student who comes to class even after loss, the hardest lesson they have ever had to learn. Spring is the nurse, the teacher, the protestor, the family, those who show up every moment we have spent frozen and in fear. Spring is the healer.

Spring is Survival. To know Survival is to know that we shouldn’t have had to go through the darkness... but we were stronger than we thought and we are still here.

Tiny buds dancing slow into blossom, petals unfolding into vibrant yellow, delicate pink, and kiss-of-life red.

Resilience is a garden we keep growing. Just like the Spring, we keep growing. Yes we keep going.
