Spring = HOPE “It’s always spring within”

Spring means beginning, freshness, newness. It starts small – barely recognizable – the tiniest frond of green among the blackness, calling forth an answering shiver from somewhere deep inside us. We are told that very cell in our body replaces itself in seven years, so springtime is a constant within us. The best thing about Spring, to my way of thinking, is that it replaces winter. I am not a winter person, though I am told some are. I usually experience a sense almost of hopelessness, right before the end. Spring is the cure for hopelessness. Spring is hope itself.

In the darkest season of loneliness, we must find reason for hope, and the reason is always the same: spring is coming. We transform ourselves into turnaround specialists, turning around hopelessness and a quitter mentality into can-do optimism & strategies. The green plant finds a way to come up, the beetles wait in the earth until their time is right, the egg contains a perfect hummingbird. So we strip away our fears, negativity and hopelessness to foster the growth inside, growth in the belief that our Soulmate is right around the corner.

#HAIKU: Spring is a state of mind

“Save me” I wept and
a small flower grew; slow at first then
radiant.
