Spring

Yesterday was the first day of "Spring." It is the reality (not the reflection) that things that seemed or appeared dead, can now wake-up and return to this life. Perhaps not coincidentally Easter is this Sunday and is a remembrance of "resurrection," as well. For many it is the recalling of a miracle.

Someone recently asked me what I thought about Spring and Easter. Instantly my mind flashed back to DBZ, Eido Roshi and I began to sing a song I remembered.

"To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star"

When I was done, he and I laughed. It just seemed right somehow and fit the moment. This is what Spring means to me. This is a coming back to life. Nothing more than this, this, this.

Happy Easter and Spring,
