There is a time and a place for all things. The changing of the seasons represents the flow of life. There will be opportunities for expansion and excitement, but sometimes you will be forced to rest and recover. Never let life get you down. Everything can change in an instant and bring new blessings to you.

Spring offers you a fresh start. You never know what surprises will bloom during this time of growth. Have a beginner’s mind and be receptive to change. This is the perfect time to plant seeds. Establish new ideas and give them the care they need to flourish. You can choose to remain stagnant, or you can reach your limbs toward the sky and grow.

Ice melts reckoning
spring blooms welcoming
cherry blossom enveloping
bringing in the new

Summer heat’s sweltering
sunshine so deafening
days are lengthening
so many things to do

Seasons come and seasons go
life within its flow
change is inevitable
the good, the bad, the slow

Take it in peacefully
savor each mo-
ment that you…
