Spring officially started yesterday, March 20, and I am excited to spring into spring with you! Spring is a season of new beginnings, as the earth seems to come to life again. The amount of daylight increases, we hear birds chirping, leaves start emerging on trees, and we can all breathe in the fresh air.
We welcome spring this year, with so many reminders of the sanctity of life. We are mindful that there are many in our conflict-ridden world for whom the pleasures of spring are grossly overshadowed by violation and injustice. We are mindful of environmental challenges that are choking the fullness of springtime. We are mindful of the hibernating time of viral pandemic from which we are cautiously emerging.
What I love about our Nazareth community is that we are open-eyed about the challenges of our world, and we seek out the power of a Nazareth education to learn about our world from different perspectives, and think and act with one another to problem-solve and make a positive difference through our life’s work. Thank goodness for Naz! Thank goodness for YOU!
As spring starts springing, let us breathe in fresh air and fresh perspective. Let us be fresh air for each other. And let us help fresh air flow all around our world — with hope, love and peace.
