The Poetry of Spring

Spring begins today! This date marks the spring equinox and the astronomical first day of spring around the Northern Hemisphere. The equinox – from Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night) – occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line, heading north.
"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems." - Rainer Maria Rilke
Affirmative prayer: Today, the sights, sounds, and poetry of spring invite me to feel a sense of new life in my heart, my soul. Today, I’m more optimistic. I believe in the goodness of life, and I give myself to the beauty of a world made new again. Thank you, Infinite Presence, forever. Amen.
