Words of Wisdom Wednesday - On the Everpresence of Spring

Spring is a season unike the other three. Like morning glories, it is more ephemeral, yet also more enduring.

It is a river that runs through the whole year. We glimpse it when snowflakes fall, fresh and new like apple blossoms. 

We see its echo in the brilliant colors of autumn leaves.

We feel it on our skin every time a breeze cools the summer air. 

Spring is the river that bubbles up in the wilderness. It is the river that flows in so many corners of my every-shifting, always changing life.
