Today was the first day of spring. I felt my spirits rise as the sun was out most of the day. I took my friend Jim Forest to Serb Hall for the famous Friday night fish fry and found myself acting and talking like in the old days before the shadow of death fell on me last fall.

Now that it is night and I am quiet I can feel the darkness within. But now I know I can work outside in the soil and spring has finally come. It is all of what I have been waiting for. Truly “we are the people we are waiting for.”
Jim’s new revised version of his book on Thomas Merton, Living with Wisdom and his new biography of Dorothy Day, All Is Graceare at the table besides me. So many more hours of wisdom reading and in words of inspiration.

My friend Tom walked here today after his hospital appointment quite a distance away. Usually I am picking up Tom and driving him to visit his mother in a home for dementia many miles away but today he was helping me prepare the front garden. Another friend came by this morning with a friend to check out replacing my driveway fence that fell down in a wind storm last fall.

Everything seems to be falling into place. Spring must be here.
