What is all this juice and all this joy? – Gerard Manley Hopkins, “Spring.” Spring is finally here! Something about this time of year always makes me want to create. To try new things.

Even when loss is expected, it’s still loss – that ongoing process of remembering that the person you loved is gone forever.
