• As the soil is tilled, so are we made ready to receive

• As seeds are planted, so are our thoughts guided

• As creatures emerge from winter shelters, so we step out to discover and grow

• As flowers rise from the earth, so life is reborn

• As the sun warms and draws new life, so kind words bring healing and hope

• As spring rains soak in and nourish, so the sharing of knowledge and wisdom betters our lives

• As wind tears and roars, so ill-spoken words tear and hurt

• As weeds are cleared to make room for desired plants, so removal of harmful relationships or habits encourages healthier lives

• As bushes are pruned and stronger growth results, so we gain wisdom and strength through trials and experience

• As flowers brighten and green buds burst forth, so music and laughter express joy and peace
