"Spring makes everything young again except man."
-Jean Paul Richter, German author (1763-1825)

i thought of this quote this morning and realized that spring is in the air, at least here where i live, and in the allegorical sense it is indeed a new beginning for the earth. man seems to accept it as well, even though he continues to mature. hope "springs" eternal. have a wonderful day everyone.
