Rejuvination

The arrival of spring gives me an injection of optimism, a much needed jolt directly into my veins. I feel stronger, younger. The winter thoughts of last month, last week, the blue moods brought on by gray skies and dirty snow slowly dissolve in these first tentative warm days. I can again believe that aging is a concept of the mind, not simply the number of years lived.

the last snowball–
spiking through cold dirt
