I was looking for a few words that would express the optimism, the relentlessness, the astonishing redemptive power of the spring.  This quote from Pablo Neruda captures it for me:

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming."

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you can find the space to enjoy the arrival of the spring.
