Yes yes yes!!! So good to come back to spring! I love spring so much! But I also love summer and fall and snow. ❄️ 🤣 I love how you talk about hope being something you can come back to!
“Spring feels like a season of returning; each March I feel like I’ve spent the last orbit around the sun chasing myself and I’ve finally come back to her.” That is how I’ve felt my entire life. I love how you described it! So beautiful. It’s one of the many reasons spring is my favorite season. Feeling like myself, flowers, tiny green leaves, baby woodland animals, and last but not least, the annual celebration of the Resurrection of Lord Jesus—the reason for our hope!
i love the idea of spring as a new beginning to the year!!!!! although we don't get a lot of "spring" days around here, reading your post was such a joy and a way to live vicariously through you ❤️❤️ love this so much!
I LOVE your water cycle analogy. It's something I've never seen before expressed, but it makes absolutely perfect and beautiful sense. You have a lovely mind.
I just love you. Your writing is like a flower you don’t pick, but go on a walk to find and when you do find it, you sit with it and let its beauty reflect onto you. The sun isn’t always shining on said walk, sometimes it’s raining furiously, but the flower is always there and that knowledge is enough for hope to live on. 🌸🤍
"This is part of the reason I have hope: I know I will always return. I will have winters again, the kind that numb your fingers and freeze your streets, but spring will always come again. Always." this made me tear up. Thank you for being you, Caroline
very beautiful article, caroline. i relate so much to you because i am also naturally inclined to hope for the best, even as i am climbing the "hard steps" as you put it. and there is no better representation of hope than spring. the picture you took of the creek is very lovely, and i love your wise reflection on the water cycles; how the creek you visit is never the same creek, but also that we are all sharing the same water through the cycle. i hope you have a lovely spring!
Sometimes you read something and just have to pause for a moment to take in its power. This is one of those times because WOW Caroline! These lines "In that sense, every visit to any body of water is the same water it’s always been. You and I could be across the world from each other, swapping H2O between us and sharing the same rain that historical legends once felt falling upon their faces." are undeniably romantic and poetic and filled with (surprise, surprise) so much hope!!
