Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like falling leaves. Perhaps more than any other season of the year, springtime heightens our awareness of nature. We have just come out of our shells of winter and see the rebirth of nature's bounty. Blossoms are springing forth and colors abound everywhere.
New growth appears on previously barren branches.
The sun's arc is rising, bringing warmth and light. Animals, birds and insects are on the move. This is a time of year when, with little effort on our part, we can easily see our constantly growing and changing environment. However, in our busy lives with all the seemingly important problems, we sometimes forget our connection with all that surrounds us. We go from our manufactured houses, to our manufactured cars or busses, to our manufactured offices and work on our manufactured machines, eat at our manufactured restaurants and entertain ourselves with our manufactured play things.
