Spring
A Buddhist saying (if I'm correctly remembering it): Winter does not become spring. There is winter, & then there is spring.
The calendar says spring. It's the equinox. Some years in Jersey, not many, spring is here by this date. This year it is not. One day one goes outside & it is spring. Not almost spring, not a sign of spring or a little bit of spring that is gone tomorrow. Spring.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
