Thou that hast giv’n so much to me,
Give the thing more, a gratefull heart;
See how Thy beggar works in Thee
By art:
He makes thy gifts occasion more
And says, if he in this be crost,
All Thou hast given him heretofore
Is lost.
— George Herbert

Cue the sun
I declare life
Cue the flowers
I declare spring
Cue the children
I declare love

Isn’t it beautiful

An elder Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” — Anonymous Author
Springtime – a time for renewal. Nature takes the lead, one we must follow, for we are not separate from nature. How we follow depends on whether we are led by our “I” or “thou.” Make this spring your “thou” spring.

This is the time of year many communities along the Gulf coast schedule Azalea Trail events. But it doesn’t have to be a formal event to go for a walk or drive through area neighborhoods.
