Suddenly today daffodils
opened and my winter lethargy vanished. This is a bit odd because a big old cold
front was pushing its way south, dropping temperature into the forties. Still,
I found myself working energetically all day, finishing tasks that just
yesterday seemed too difficult even to contemplate.
What is it
about Spring, anyway, that she can so invigorate us? There are places on this earth where Spring never visits. How do people who live
there manage to keep going? They don’t experience winter either, so
every day would seem the same.
Oh, yes, Spring is fickle, here today and gone
tomorrow. She sometimes nips things in the bud, dashing our hopes for a crop of
fruit or an early harvest of potatoes.
I’m glad I live where Spring comes to visit. For all
her faults, Spring raises our spirits and gives us hope. She is fresh and new,
she is the earth reborn. We feel reborn ourselves and we thank Goddess for spring!
