The Blessing of Spring

It's been a long time since I wrote that last post!  I thought it would be a good time to share a beautiful quote about spring.  I found it in one of my notebooks where I copied it down in 2006.
 
It is not the variegated colors, the cheerful sounds, 
and the warm breezes which enliven us so much in spring; 
it is the quiet prophetic spirit of endless hope, a presentiment of many happy days,
the anticipation of higher everlasting blossoms and fruits, 
and the secret sympathy with the world that is developing itself.
 
~ Martin Opitz
