In Love With All the Seasons
As spring continues its slow growth into the life of Minnesota and the green begins to overpower the browns, it would be easy to think that this is the best of all possible worlds. Yet I came across the following quote from George Santayan (1863-1952) that reminds us that such "love" is only infatuation and doesn't hold up for the long haul.

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Ah, if life were but one ongoing springtime....

But we know it is not. Which is all the better. But spring is the beginning. It is the yearly reminder that life is good and that the cold and dreary darkness of winter is just as much a part of life as the colors of spring.

So I enjoy today, another spring day. The explosion of life is something to behold.
