Brown into Green

My windows are open and fresh air fills my living room. I sit while the melting snow and running of water drops its droplets over my roof and onto the ground...The sound is a constant splash on the earth below...I LOVE that sound...It is a sound that refreshes the soul...Spring can be a dirty ugly messing muddy season...The snow that covered everything to make it all seem so perfect is melting and disappearing without a trace...which results in exposing the imperfect...When you look at Spring that way...well it can be seen than as a not so pretty season.

However if you relate Spring to Life...it may end up being one of the most beautiful seasons of all. Life is imperfect...and at times we try to hide or cover up our flaws and darkness...looking to be perfect...in the same way snow covers the earth during winter. And sometimes we are frozen in that season much too long...then their comes a day where we start to let go...we unthaw and slowly begin to melt....While the snow turns to water our souls are exposed...with what seems so perfect under the snow is now messy-dirty-muddy and colors that are anything but pretty...Yet the sun warms this earth...this soul...and slowly but surely the water washes away most of the mud and muck-still leaving traces behind to show it was there and will always be there...but by the water and the sun...the earth is reborn...it starts to grow anew...it starts to bloom and blossum...The colors of brown turn to colors of green...and then when its ready the flowers start to pop colors of purple-red-orange-blue and yellow all across the horizon. Spring starts out at being a complete mess...yet it leads into Summer...we are not sure how it happens or when it happens...One day its Spring and the next its Summer...Life is a lot like that...One day we are filled with sorrow-hurt-darkness and gloom...and the next we are filled with happiness-laughter-hope and joy... We don't know when it happened...it just simply happens

Spring and Life...can't be rushed....their results aren't seeing the difference in a day or a week...and sometimes not even in a month...they need their time to work their magic...to turn brown into green.
