Denial covers the pain of the past
A blanket over the world
Lift a corner
Don't be afraid
The world awaits you

Never-Ending Life

Do the leaves that lie broken in a falling snow know that Spring will follow?

To me, the shift from night to day and back again, the phases of the moon, and the continuous cycle of seasons are like a promise of what awaits us, beyond this world. Like the buds on a new branch, we see only the snow, the spring, and the leaves that we bring forth. We watch as our creations grow and change, their full color emerging and ultimately fading, and then that for which we've struggled drops away... turns to dust.

Thank you. I have been so focused on getting through winter I haven't thought much about spring. I love the picture you have with this beautiful thought.
