"There is a depth of truth, this depth of being that wants itself known, felt, expressed, met. It makes you want to soar, to fly on eagle wings, to master your own dreams, to find true freedom. To create a masterpiece of life. Take all the pieces of life and create a new quilt. One that shines with love and light."

Ode To Spring!



Oh, the wonder and expectation
Of the dawn of spring
Which bursts forth in silence
Unnoticed by any eye.
Then one pleasant spring morning
A miraculous change occurs
Which shines a light of glorious radiance
On mountain and meadow
Countryside and farm
Of verdant green horizons
And blossoms scattering in the breeze.

The robins song of happiness
Bees buzzing with delight
Mossy green hidden places
Wildflowers in rainbow colors
All combine to make spring
The season of joy and light.
                                                                       Lovelight


One of the great pleasures of life is spring! Spring always comes with exuberance! Bursting with all of creation in joyous renewal. It seems as if spring bursts upon us in one day of glory, for one day we wake up and everything is spring. However, in reality spring slowly emerges one small bud, shoot and leaf at a time until the blossoms and flowers burst through.




And what glory. The warmth of the sun, the flowers, blossoms, green growth, the sky of blue, the gentle spring rain, the breezes, even the feeling in the air. All bring such a feeling of renewal. Even the birds get into the act with their mating songs of joy. The sunrises come earlier in expectation of a new day.



A time of renewal for all. A time for us to begin again. To lay aside the woes and darkness of winter, the dreary days and welcome spring with a grateful heart bursting with joy. Every year the earth and all of nature renews itself, and we are meant to enjoy this renewal with heartfelt delight.

 This is the perfect time of year to get outside in nature and enjoy it. Nature is just waiting to bring pleasure to our eyes in a feast of delight. It is also a perfect time of year to start any new projects that you have been thinking about or planning all winter. Start a new garden, build a birdhouse, make new colorful sofa pillows, plan the perfect vacation, or just sit outside in the warm sun and pleasant breeze and soak up the healing air of spring.



Whatever you do--enjoy Spring.



When I was a child my mother always told me that spring came and all the flowers bloomed because I was born on that day-spring and it was for joy. I believed her for a very long time. My special day! But we are all born to joy and love and spring comes for all to enjoy.





Spring is God’s gift of renewal for our souls. A time given to us to see and understand His gifts and miracles of nature and renew ourselves with gratitude and thankfulness for His blessings.





Stop every now and then. Just stop and enjoy. Take a deep
breath. Relax and take in the abundance of life.

Peace and Joy to All
