Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!

Summary

This quote likely refers to the unpredictability of the spring season. Spring is often associated with new beginnings and a sense of rejuvenation. However, it can also bring unexpected and sometimes less desirable surprises. Just when one may believe that the harsh winter has subsided, spring might unveil its unpredictable nature, whether through sudden storms or fluctuations in temperature. The quote suggests a sense of endearment but also a recognition of the whimsical and capricious nature of spring, reflecting how it can both delight and bewilder those who eagerly anticipate its arrival.

Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true...written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us...vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called...re-membered...-re-cognized...as that which is already inside us.
