Transforming

Friday, March 15, 2024

I am watching the rising sun, my eyesight protected by several big trees that splinter and diffuse the brightness. Yesterday was a warm, light-jacket day. Predictions are that today will become even warmer with tomorrow bringing more of the same. This spring’s early weeks of heavy snows and freezing rains have us primed to greet warmer weather joyously.

Spring’s arrival is powerful for sure. I am sensing these brighter and warmer days increasing my optimism and making my outlook more positive. The changes are heightening my mood and energy levels; I’m eager to go outdoors and play, to go enjoying the changing scenery.

The changes influence even more by heightening a common sense of community. Sure, we’re still in pre-spring, but many folks have begun speaking about new excitement and expressing hope for a future that’s less confounding. It’s doubtful that these changing spring attitudes arise from any physical phenomenon, but for sure, they do exist–culturally and psychologically–and are very welcome.

Dear Friends: By now, the sun fully is up, and a bright world invites us outside. Diana
