The roots of plants and trees take hold of nourishment from soil and dampness under even ice- and snow-covered ground. The dormancy of the cold months belies the life force at work underneath that emerges with different urgency in the spring.

The apparent conflict between the hard surface of earth, frigid temperatures, and diminished light, with the space, sun and air requirements for growth, yields in spring to a different understanding of opportunity created by the ebb and flow of inner renewal and external vibrancy.

May your spring season be lush with promise, gentle beauty, and exuberance over the wonder and persistence of life.

“Wherever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter.”
