[Seasons: Spring XII]
We all have relationships that need thawing. These aren’t necessarily the family ties that caused us a lot of harm, or worse, injured us. They aren’t the friendships we lost along the way due to distance and time. Frozen relationship are cold encounters we have often. Occasionally they are cordial but they are never warm.
Spring is the season for thawing. When the sun stays out longer and days grow warmer, (inter-specie) connections reawaken and the natural world begins its lively interactions again. Consider the bees and flowers.
Spring promotes relational thawing. We often prefer to keep relationships in the winter freeze because winter justifies little more than hibernating and self-preservation. Without intentional warmth, the winter cold threatens to become permafrost.
Which relationships could use a little warmth and sun?
