Don't worry so much about tomorrow;
consider this day a gift from fortune,
this day that you are granted to be young
and dancing while the sap rises
and death stays away. Now is the time
to discover new purposes for playing fields or
public square: to discover them as places
for lingering whispers when soft night
covers secret meetings, a place for hide-and-seek
and telltale giggles from a girl hiding in a corner
from whose arm or finger the prize is snatched
and who ~ almost ~ resists.
~Horace
The sap of spring is beginning to rise in the trees. Growth is like that: invisible at first, then seeming to arrive in a sudden crescendo of green. But the secret of growth resists in invisible times such as these. The world is still gray with winter, but spring has secretly begun.
Within ourselves, too, we must learn to labor through the silent nights and winters of our lives, times when nothing seems to come form fruition, when we encounter only disappointment and disdain. For the inner work we do during these times is what creates the environment for growth on which others later remark. Keep faith during the wintry times, and spring will surely follow
