And it's Easter Sunday.
Easter is a time of the year when Mother Nature fully
awakens from her winter slumber. Nature doesn't wake up from her
deep sleep instantly, but rather she takes time in stages to come
back to life.
To me, the very first sign of spring is March 1st, the
first calendaristic day of spring. The winter months are over, and
March is the month that officially marks the beginning of
spring.
Then the daylight saving hour comes along during the
second weekend of March -- in North America at least. We move the
clocks one hour ahead to make a better use of the daylight. Now we
SEEM to have longer days, the afternoons are sunnier now, and we
have the opportunity to be more productive and to accomplish more
during the bright hours of the day.
The Equinoctium on March 21st is the next step that
Nature takes when changing seasons. She is more awaken now. The
days and nights are now equal, ready to start their summer
dance.
And finally, Easter. The time of the year when Mother
Earth is fully awaken. The time of the year when the trees and
flowers are in full bloom, when spring is finally here in all her
warm and blossomed splendor.
May the miracle of Easter fill your heart with
love and peace, and may the Easter bunny bring you
lots of joy and happiness this year. Wishing you and
your dear ones a wonderful day of hope, renewal, and
blessings.
Happy Easter everyone! Photo credit: Google
