From the East

Greetings Brethren,

March marks the transition from the chill of winter to the warmth if spring, heralding a season of renewal and rejuvenation. As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, nature awakens from its slumber. The once barren landscapes begin to transform, with vibrant flowers pushing through the thawing ground, painting gardens and parks in a vast array of colors.

Trees that stood bare for months start to display tender buds, signaling new life and growth. This blossoming not only beautifies the environment but also revitalizes our spirits. The sounds of nature return, with birds singing and the gentle rustle of leaves as the wind carries the scent of fresh blooms.

With the arrival of spring, people are drawn outdoors, shedding the layers of winter clothing. Parks and gardens become gathering spots for families and friends, as activities shift from indoor pursuits to picnics, hikes ad leisurely strolls. The warmth encourages a sense of connection, both with nature and with each other.

Spring also invites a sense of introspection and growth. It is a time when many engage in spring cleaning, both in their homes and in their lives, shedding the old to make way for the new. This season serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life, encouraging us to embrace change, seek new beginnings, and nurture our own growth as we bask in the beauty of the world around us.

Fraternally,

Sean Goldrick
