What Spring Whispers

 

On the old plum tree,

One blossom by one blossom,

The spring thaw is born.

 – Ransetsu

 

Spring is born in whispers: “A gift! For you. Enjoy!”

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

Gathering Goodness

 

“That man is happiest who lives from day to day

and asks no more,

garnering the simple goodness of life.”

Euripides, 424 B.C.E. –

 

Garner means a bit more than just “to gather.” It comes from the Latin for grain and means “to gather into storage.” So notice the simple goodness of life this week. Gather it and store it within your spirit.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
