Cleaning the oven was the last straw for her. Winter can have that affect on us. When will winter end? I escaped the winter inversion a couple of weeks ago, enjoying the greenery and sunshine in California - there was definitely a hint of spring in the air. Spring comes early to warmer climes and perhaps even taken a bit for granted by those who are spared the harsh barren landscape of snow covered happiness. Not me. Back at home I notice each chirp of a lone robin, the feasting by the quails on the fallen apples (rotting) now uncovered from the snow, a tiny green leaf starting to warm up after its winter sleep. I know it’s not spring yet - a few weeks still to go- but as the sun rises higher each day in the sky, it brings the hope of a new day. Spring is a miracle of nature. It happens without intervention, without prodding, without any help from humans. (thank goodness, we would ruin it ) Spring is vibrant and spectacular. Spring conquers the death and silence of winter. Spring overcomes the harsh reality of suffering and scarcity with joyous growing abundance. If you are suffering from hardship, illness, adversity of unspeakable sorrow and frustrations- have courage. Take heartspring is here. Take a moment - clear out the oven cleaning fumes and feel how the sun warms your face. It is good. Life is good. Nancy Low Amelia K.
