Spring

Here is this year’s spring piece: the season of Spring in physical form. Some years, Spring comes roaring in and puts Winter to swift flight. In other years, Spring comes in battered and with bloody knuckles as she fights for every inch of ground as Winter resists her. Spring also has two faces. One is the joy of new life. The other is death. Some new life is born and thrives. Other life is snuffed out with swift violence when it has barely begun living. This season clearly reveals Life’s softness but also its brutality.
