Each year, warm breezes carrying sweet scents of spring invite us to experience life's renewal. Nature gently nudges us -- take a look around, the world is unfolding!

If we pause to notice this transformation, then we may remember the nature of our existence: All is impermanent. Even the heavy frosts of winter's dormancy melt away to reveal new life.

Timely spiritual traditions support this sentiment and offer occasions for celebration. No matter what faith we practice, spring calls us to revel in her abundant opportunities for growth. The simplest of these opportunities, and perhaps the most rewarding too, is the awakening of our senses.
