Bloom

One of the things I have always enjoyed about Kansas City is the distinctive seasons. Spring has arrived and the signs are everywhere. The grass is green and the hum of mowers can be heard almost every day. The trees are in bloom and the flowers and plants are emerging. The Royals season has begun with hope of a miracle season and traffic has picked up on the local bike paths. You get my drift. Of course the spiritual parallels of new life are everywhere, but I will leave those to your creative imagination. What looked dead and dormant, buried in snow and ice a few months ago is now fully alive.

As mentioned last week, Jena and I will be taking off for a family vacation. We leave tomorrow for California.
