[Seasons: Spring I]
Spring is the setting of love stories and ballads and climactic scenes in romantic comedies. It’s cliche. An easy setting for almost any storyline needing an incontestable subtext of possibility and beauty.
The 90’s group, Sublime, said it’s summertime where the living is easy, but that’s because they were rebelling against the norm. It’s late spring, when warm days are yet too humid, the warming sun is still welcomed (and not blocked), and mother nature is throwing paint at the earth’s canvas, where the easy living gets fully underway.
Spring is the only season that’s also a verb: to bounce or snap. Of course it means that. Everything in spring has a bit of “bop” in its “step”. Virility returns in spring. Hope is everywhere.
Spring, Easter, Life. They’re virtually synonymous.
