Spring

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” 
― Pablo Neruda

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” 
― Margaret Atwood

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.” 
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems

“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...” 

― The Secret Garden

A rose in my back yard.

A peace rose in my back yard.
