~ Renewal ~
Spring is the unfailing reminder that all things are reborn.
Well, another winter has passed.  Here it is, Good Friday, and I sit once
more in the old garden where I hear no faintest echo of the rumbling of
London streets nearby.  The only movement I am conscious of is that of
the trees shooting forth their first sprays of bright green and the only
sound I hear is the blackbird's joyful song.  Her song seems to well up
spontaneously from the Heart of Nature, sending with it a message of
peace to the Heart of the Mystery, which is man.  For man alone can hear
the Revelation that lies in the blackbird's song.  
-- Havelock Ellis
Every hopeful, renewing Spring is the only Spring --
a perpetual astonishment.  
-- Ellis Peters
Since the whole world, with all of its treasures, cannot buy a single
Spring day, of what avail to seek yellow gold?
-- Hsi Pei Lan
New hope has risen.  Everywhere I look new life stirs.  Mother Nature
whispers a message to all living things, "Wake up, wake up, it's morning, the
first day of Spring."  I walk on, and with each step, I shed a year.  
-- Unknown
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of
colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the
night.  
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.  -- Chinese proverb
Thanks to the renewal of life that it brings, no other season has the effect
on the world at large more so than Spring.  
-- Unknown
Nature holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing
processes of renewal in our lives.  
-- Mary Ann Brussat
If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, what wonder
and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous
renewal!
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
