Spring
My winter eyes had forgotten
the spring.
My tear-filled eyes
had forgotten
the wonder
of another
spring.
Growth
The coming of Spring is a signaling to all things in nature to grow, develop and flourish Everywhere we are surrounded by growth and beauty, and it can awaken in us the desire to focus on our own continued growth.
This sense of renewal can also give us the impetus to try to make our lives more beautiful and more meaningful.
What is the most rigorous law of our being? —growth—
No smallest atom of our moral, mental or physical structure
can stand still a year. It grows—
it must grow. Nothing can prevent it.
Mark Twain
The minute a man ceases to grow,
no matter what his years,
that minute he begins to be old.
William James
