“Gardens in Spring
with flowers abound
their scent interwoven
in the wind”
― Meeta Ahluwalia

“In the deep spring when the grass was green on fields and foothills, when the lupines and poppies made a splendid blue and gold earth, when the great trees awakened in yellow-green young leaves, then there was no more lovely place in the world.

It was no beauty you could ignore by being used to it. It caught you in the throat in the morning and made a pain of pleasure in the pit of your stomach when the sun went down over it.”
― John Steinbeck, The Wayward Bus

“The first bud of spring sings the other seeds into joining her uprising.”
― Amanda Gorman

“Early spring. Hyacinths on my desk. Intoxicating, sweet, fresh, alive—the sticky, cloying scent of a novice’s hope. Hope for light, for warmth, for thawing soil.”
― Beth Wiles, Show Me All Your Scars: True Stories of Living with Mental Illness
