Spring reminds me that nothing in nature blooms all year long.

It is time to write again.

What a powerful lesson is the beginning of spring. All around us, everything small and buried surrenders to a process that none of the buried parts can see. And this innate surrender allows everything edible and fragrant to break ground into a life of light that we call spring.   – Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening

I took the photo at Laguna Gloria, Austin, TX. The 33-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture, Looking Up, is by artist Tom Friedman.
