History always fascinated me, sometimes I questioned humans "Why can't we learn from the past and change the course of things?" To this day, it still puzzles me.
Spring is the most beautiful of the seasons. Suddenly, after a dreary winter, the colors come back. The birds are out. The days last longer. The breeze is light and the air is cool.
But as Phillip Larkin’s bittersweet poem reminds us, beneath this turning of the seasons is a kind of darkness.
The trees are coming into leaf
Like something almost being said;
The recent buds relax and spread,
Their greenness is a kind of grief
The inherent grief is the passage of time. Each season brings new life, yes, but also marks the cessation of life. It’s a painful truth, the poem points out, written in the rings of the tree. Winter is dead and over…and all of us a little more so too.
This notion serves as a gentle nudge, reminding us of the preciousness of every moment. It urges us not merely to exist but to truly live, to seize each season and extract its full potential. It’s saying don’t let a new season come and go without springing forward with it—not just meeting it, but making something of it.
Have a phenomenal, productive week in whatever you pursue in this life!
