Today, I opened the windows of both my house and my car, and put on a pair of shorts. It was a beautiful, sunny day that made even driving to get the oil changed a pleasant experience. My senses felt heightened; I was more aware of the touch of the breeze, the warmth of the sun, the smell of the newly growing plants, even the color of the sky. As much as I love winter, there is something about spring that makes me feel more in touch with the world around me.
My soul is so often wrapped up in its winter, that it is nice to air it out. I often become so self involved in both my problems and my desires which I don't let past the shutters of my own mind that I start to fester inside. I always feel better when I get to open those windows and air out my troubles and dreams.
Too often, we hold everything in, thinking that we can deal with everything ourselves. We delude ourselves with such thoughts. Trying to take on the world alone only leads to loneliness; the success that we thought our struggles would bring only leads to more disappointment. We must allow ourselves to trust in others and trust in God. He does not expect us to go it allow. Why, even He had someone to help Him carry His cross.
Spring is the perfect reminder that we need to renew ourselves, that we need to open our windows and reconnect with the world. As life buds all around us, we need to let it bud within ourselves as well. It's time to open our hearts to God and the world and feel the freshness that is breathed into us.
