Central Time Spring is an upheaval, a colossal push of unleashed forces. On the way to meetings in Chicago this past week, I listened to numerous music pieces on spring. I'm partial to the Stravinsky. The raw, emotional, transforming power of the work reaches me and expresses what I feel. Namely, that spring reshapes everything, and I am not just writing about nature.
Spring has our family in full gear.
Our daughter, Anna, is gearing up for the first horse competition of the season. Son David has been running track and training himself into the ground. I've been attending spring board meetings, and wife Christine is working in her flower gardens and combating the deer. With the surge in activities, domestic life gets frayed a bit. It is a thrill to be outside after the long winter and walking in the yard freely without snowshoes.
