As spring finds its place on our landscape the new season helps us mark our movement through the year. For some of you, this cycle brings continual reminders of what has been lost. Hopefully for others of you, the time passing is a confirmation of the strength and resilience you are developing as you wend your way through your difficult private journey of grief.

Perhaps by noticing the small changes, the early flowers waking from their winter sleep, the green buds on trees, and the longer hours of daylight, we too can begin to feel a slow awakening to life around us.
