we are in a dark time a gloomy, scary, and troubling time hope has seemed to have been sucked out of the world through a vacuum and yet spring has not broken it’s promise it has shown up the weather has started to shift the flowers have begun to bloom the sky has started to turn to blue and the sun has begun to shine down on what seems like an endlessly dark world bringing hope and light with every ray of sun a reminder to all of us that darkness doesn’t have to last forever
