Heather in Bloom

"Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day."
- Elizabeth Bowen

"The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size."
- Gertrude S. Wister

There is a sadness in my heart.

Is it always this way just before spring bursts forth?

Is the light always this dim?

Does the sound of laughter always feel like a miracle?
