On the verge…

I want this again.

And this.

Look at that green grass.

We are on the verge, people. The other day I saw a group of 9 robins. Nine. Shouldn’t that mean…spring x 9? I think so.

But today…today was good. I bet you could even see the grass growing, if you watched it for long enough. I swear…when I came back from class, I think there were twice as many tiny green blades poking out from the brown dead-looking ones. Isn’t it unbelievable? Seeing all these changes…all these miraculous resurrection events…it makes me feel so hopeful. There is hope in spring.

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.  ~Virgil A. Kraft

The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.  ~Bern Williams

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"
