Renewal

Seasons passing

Doorways closing

Darkness falling

Life on hold

Presently waiting

Memory failing

World decaying

Out in the cold

Hope embracing

Bright awakening

New beginnings

Taking hold

Love affirming

Cycles promising

Warmth returning

Miracles unfold.

Only 6 More Sleeps

...until Spring!

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"  ~Robin Williams

It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.  ~Terri Guillemets


Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.  ~Virgil A. Kraft


The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.  ~Bern Williams

Time for Change

Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind, independent of the prevalent one among the crowds, and in opposition to it -- a tone of mind, which will gradually win influence over the collective one, and in the end determine its character. Only an ethical movement can rescue us from barbarism, and the ethical comes into existence only in individuals. ~Albert Schweitzer
