Spring<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

It’s the time of year when the earth opens<\/p>\n

its warmth full blast and the wind<\/p>\n

beckons the trees to live again<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and the people come out from their<\/p>\n

hibernators to take a long<\/p>\n

hard look around<\/p>\n

they see what they like<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

so here we all are.\u00a0 on the grass in shirts<\/p>\n

and in shorts and in halter tops and no tops<\/p>\n

and smiling while talking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

we talk about learning and loving and growing<\/p>\n

and being. God knows we talk<\/p>\n

while the worms dance in the puddles, we talk.<\/p>\n

while the wheat begins its annual trek to<\/p>\n

harvest time, we talk.\u00a0 while the trees show<\/p>\n

they are alive, we talk.\u00a0 do we learn?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

sometimes?<\/p>\n

do we love. not always. do we grow. it depends.<\/p>\n

are we being. if we try.<\/p>\n
