In the midst of winter, it seems as if life is literally being pulled back into the Earth, receding from the surface of our planet. But each year spring inevitably arrives, and life surges once again, bursting out from the tips of trees and the earth itself in vibrant greens and yellows that can only signal that life is waxing once again. Life on earth has a rhythm to it, a pulsing cycle of waxing and waning tides. The sun rises; the sun sets. The sap rises; the sap falls. Flowers bloom and flowers fade. We inhale and we exhale. Growth and decay, like our breathing and the i beating of our hearts, is a surge of life, and then a receding of life. Perhaps what we love about spring is that we can literally see and feel the surge of life. The earth is again coming back to life, and as a part of nature, we feel once again that bloom of youth which adds zest and vigor to our own lives. Spring is the sea son for those who love life. Thank God for making each of us a part of this beautiful cycle of life. For everything there is a season, and a time (or every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die. R.S.V.
