"Today is the day when bold kites fly, 

When cumulus clouds roar across the sky. 

When robins return, 

when children cheer, 

When light rain beckons spring to appear. 

 Today is the day when daffodils bloom, 

Which children pick to fill the room, 

Today is the day when grasses green, 

When leaves burst forth for spring to be seen." 

- Robert McCracken, Spring

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.

Virginia Bluebells - The Beginning of Spring

Print Available - HERE 

"The spring is fresh and fearless 

 And every leaf is new, 

 The world is brimmed with moonlight, 

 The lilac brimmed with dew. 

 Here in the moving shadows 

 I catch my breath and sing -- 

 My heart is fresh and fearless 

 And over-brimmed with spring."
