Spring!!! It has sprung in glorious fashion! At least, it has done here in the Twin Cities. The flowers, the greening, the scent of lilacs, the wacky antics of folks finally free to dash outside at a moment’s notice, no need to find a hat or coat – it is bliss! I always say I like all four seasons – and I do – but in this moment I am quite sure that Spring is my favorite. All the world is bursting with newness and possibility…
As I sit at my laptop (briefly, mind – it’s too lovely out there to remain indoors for long) to check in with whomever might chance across my website, I am thinking of you. Mysterious observers – perhaps someone looking for some new music, maybe one I’ve sent a note to with my web address attached, or a dear old friend or sister who likes to keep an eye on me – I hold you in my thought right now, and I pray that the newness and possibility of life make themselves known to you.
I also think of mothers, in honor of the day we dedicate to them. Especially of my own sweet Mama – a woman of exquisite beauty, infinite patience, and astonishing love. My sister and I adore her completely, and feel we are blessed with the very best mother that has ever drawn breath. Again, though, I hope you can say the same of your own mother! Celebrate her today, tomorrow, and always. She gave you life.
