The beginning of a season represents change of cycle, transition, renewal.

Ancient civilizations - much wiser and attentive to the manifestations of nature and the processes it sets in the most diverse sectors of life - celebrated the arrival of the solstice and the equinox with symbolic, mystical rituals, ceremonies marked by the compass of singing, dancing, and of praises to greet Mother Earth and all the benefits she offered to mankind, such as medicinal plants, flowers, fruits, heat, energy, food, minerals, impressionistic beauty of fauna and flora.

In short, the possibility of Life.

We must rescue this harmony between human beings and nature, otherwise we will not understand the richness of what we see around us. In the spring, we feel ready to create, to dare, to structure ideas, to outline new projects and actions.

The blue sky has the colour of promises and dreams that commonly hibernate during winter.

Every Spring, we feel like apprentices, eager to live new sensations and savour new encounters, sowing sensitivity in our hearts and minds.

Spring means feeling more tuned with the beauty of nature and the innumerable expressions that the universe provides to us.

Thinking about this may bring us doubts and questions... however, we must also remember that in them lies an important part of the great beauty and grace of existence.
