Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. ~Virgil A. KraftI saw my first robin the other day.
I never knew something as small and simple as a red-breasted bird could give me such a rush of hope.
These recent days have truly been a dreadful tangle of cold winds, heavily falling rain, and dull grey skies...
...it almost seems as if spring is playing some silly little trick with my spring-fevered heart.
And then, I see some little sign that maybe things are almost done being so wet and forlorn.
...the pale green tip of a tulip leaf poking up in my grandmother's flower patch...
...the gentle, haunting coo of a mourning dove to wake me from my sleep each morning...
...the celestial romance in invisible pairing of Neptune and Venus in the early morning darkness...
...the bobbing of a robin's scarlet chest against the twists of brown, listless grass.
Spring is coming.
The air is changing, the world is turning.
The world is thawing.
I trust the robin's song.
