Every spring a recurring thought comes to my mind. It's not an original or particularly smart reflection but I still like to spend some time pondering upon it. It's the parallel between Nature and human Life. I see such comparison on two levels. One concerns the actual cycle: birth, growth, decay, death. The other, possibly more superficial but definitely more optimistic, concerns the re-birth of the spirit after a period of "lows". When you undergo a difficult time, you may see the deepest part of yourself as dead, you feel hopeless and helpless. You inner panorama is wintery, cold and barren. Then, in due time, at a pace that may sometimes seem too slow, the tiny green leaves of inspiration come out and you feel like reborn to new possibilities. Life begins again, in the fields and in your soul - but only if you are willing to acknowledge and accept it.
