in celebration of the vernal equinox
Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cuts himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth.

H. Lawrence

Hope can take on a life of it’s own
“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” – Michelle Obama
