SPRING HAS SPRUNG
We often become so caught in our mind, we forget about our body and the physical side of our being.
Spring reminds us ‘to come to our senses’ both physcially and metaphorically.
How we know we are alive is not by thinking but sensing and feeling. Awake to new fresh life into our Spring of 2015.
