Spring Comes

Winter is cold and gray... but... spring comes.
What we see every day in the news is sad and scary... but... spring comes.
Coronavirus occupies our thoughts and conversations... but... spring comes.

We are now beginning our fourth week of being at home all day every day. It's been even longer for my daughter's family on the East Coast where the numbers of those testing positive are staggering.  When the weather allows, they take their little one out for walks.  A few days ago she sent me this picture from outside their apartment and said, "The cherry blossoms are blooming anyway."

Things seem to be falling apart... but... spring comes.

I painted this in response to Sara's Inspiration Image "Strength & Hope for April's Inspiration Collaboration.  She says, "... there is always some beauty to be found, some hope to carry on."

Spring symbolizes hope. Pink blossoms bring hope of fruits and the coming green. Eggs in a bird's nest bring hope for new life and the sound bird songs. Spring comes... and brings hope.
