SPRING

4/10/08


Yesterday, as I rode the bus to the University, I looked around at many of the people who were also riding the bus and I was grateful that no matter how bad my life seems at times that I had not fallen that far…… you, know it can always be worse.


At school, as I walked to my Spanish class I noticed ahead of me a bush with clusters of purple flowers. Hoping they were lilacs, and having time before my Spanish class, I walked to where they were. They were lilacs; which are possibly my favorite flower. I inhaled their fragrance and simply stood there enjoying them. Lilacs are so elusive, because they are here such a short time each spring.


After class, as I was rushing to catch the next bus, I again got side-tracked. This time it was a pathway lined with “popcorn” trees. They were so pretty. I turned down that path and stood several yards down the path. The white petals were gently falling like snowflakes all around me. I simply stood, quietly, enjoying their beauty and fragrance.


I love Spring.
