The Spring equinox just took place on March 19th and agriculturally, the spring is a time to plant seeds and do the hard work of growing an abundant harvest that we can gather in the fall. Growing a healthy garden not only includes putting in the labor; it requires having the foresight to plant in nourishing soil, to have the courage to prune when necessary, and finally, practice patience as we wait for results.
When my son is ready to do something fun but requires commitment and diligence on his part, he rolls up his sleeves and yells, “Let’s Do This!”
The hibernation season of winter is over. The adventurous days of summer have yet to arrive. The harvest gathering of the fall is two whole seasons away. Let’s fully live into the spirit of spring by rolling up our sleeves and putting in the hard work of making our lives and the lives of those around us better. Let’s do this! And most importantly, together! Let’s do this together!
