"It's all about growth and rebirth...yeah!!"comments my friend from miles away in Trinidad.I can
hear the hope and expectation in his voice.The images of tulips and pastel colored frocks splash in my mind's eye
as I imagine Easters during my childhood, painting eggs and shiny new
shoes.Yes, it always seems to be about
shoes...
The Ode to Joy is the best of all springtime tunes.It brings me memories of sitting on my front
porch and reading poetry as boys would whiz by on their bikes with basketballs
under an arm.Pre-season baseball games,
bubblegum and avoiding bees on the walk to school; the pristine smell of new
grass and budding leaves; the lovely light green of new life; and visions of
new born animals everywhere...Spring is better
than ripeness, it is fresh and delicious.
Yes, Spring has Sprung!!It is time to cast aside the old, slough it off and make room for what
is new.Take a deep breath and move
forward.Pass go and collect a hundred
dollars.Do whatever it takes and make
the possibilities you hold a reality.Who else should do it if not you?
Learn from all our myths from Osiris to the resurrections of
myriad cultures and the Easter Bunny.Show your true colors like Kodak or Cyndi Lauper and shine like that
crazy diamond.As far as we know we are
only here for this ride so make it worth your while.Embrace the now and experience the oneness
within with the new turn of cyclical growth.
Did I cover enough cliches? Shall I continue?I think you got
the message...now add anything you'd like.
