Gradually and yet all at once spring is upon us. Today I saw bare toes! Out and about bare toes! The feeling of spring is nigh, it's in the air, and it's intoxicating!
Here, on the cusp of spring, hearts are melting, giving no thought to the possibility of frost or snow breaking in on it's thaw. There is wild abandon in the throwing off of the layers that protect us from the icy chill of winter. A lightening of our loads, if you will, as we press forward into newness.
There is steady progress always, even when I cannot see it unfolding. These small but significant changes, one unsteady little step at a time. A little rain that melts the snow, a little extra warmth from the longer hours of daylight, a little bolder morning bird song...
March is not over yet, but still our anticipation of spring and summer outweighs our timidity and as we throw caution to the wind and leave the winter accessories behind.
"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven -"
Ecclesiastes 3:1
