spring...

... it is the wellspring of life, the fountain of youth, the new beginning for all creatures. Spring is more than just a season, it's a new life, a way to turn over a new leaf. In springtime we see a butterfly, a baby bird, or a bright new flower, and we feel refreshed, our spirit is waking up from a long sleep. The wintertime of deadness and aloneness was necessary too. But when spring comes we wake up, we rejoice. A tree blooms with new leaves, a worm wiggles happily, and we stir out of our long sleep with bodies and souls refreshed; ready for a long summer.

Nobody likes to feel dead and alone, and in winter, we often have a taste of just that, while winter can be beautiful, there is something very desolate about snow and coldness. And when the first warm breeze hits our face, and we sense nature coming alive again, something deep inside stirs and we too, feel alive.

I'm not positive i'm making myself understood, trying to put what i feel into words is proving to be quite difficult. But i'm trying. Currently i'm just about bursting with life and love. Love for family, my home, friends, even my stupid dog that kept me awake one hour and 30 minutes last night, because of the thunderstorm.

Thanks for reading my disjointed thoughts. Farewell. -M.J.W.
