Spring

The word "Spring" evokes a light and joyful feeling when I consider it through most of the solar year. The reality is that Spring comes very slowly in New England, especially along the coast. So Spring brings impatience as well as expectation of more comfortable temperatures. This isn't different from many things in life. In poverty, wealth seems magical and endlessly empowering. In youth, maturity seems liberating. In maturity, youth seems glorious and carefree. Walking the Middle Path entails being mindful of all these nuances in life as it is lived in the moment. In other words, from a perspective of a peaceful mind, both subjectively aware and objectively aware, the Universe can be experienced fully to the benefit of human evolution.
