[Seasons: Spring XIV]
The splendor of spring is excessive. Even profligate!
Is it because spring doesn’t conduct a cost-benefit analysis before deciding to launch? Or, is it that spring doesn’t run the vision through the executive team for efficiency assessment? Perhaps spring should send its budget to the finance committee first.
Spring would get shut down in any of our institutional channels. It’s inefficient. Superfluous.
It’s likely because spring’s only motive is joy. It’s not pragmatic or calculated. The colors and scents and energy are the natural world’s party and it has a limitless line of credit. Nothing is too expensive. Nothing is too extravagant.
Unencumbered joy, excessive beauty, and superfluous gifts of life and grace are traits of the divine. Spring is a reminder that divine presence can look like spring flourishing.
