With the lengthening days, increasingly intense sunlight and warming temperatures, there is no question that Spring is almost here. Everything about this season stirs my soul – and the energy is palpable as the frozen world awakens back to life.
To celebrate the impending arrival of Spring (which happens around dinner time on Sunday), I spent my early afternoon in my neighborhood. At first, second or third glance, you might think you were in a developing third world country. But by fourth glance, you’ll certainly let go of your inhibitions and drown yourself in the goodness that can only be found in fresh churros. While a churro (pictured above) sounds like a slang word for an extraordinarily wide penis, it’s actually a deep fried tube of dough filled with your choice of strawberry jam, chocolate sauce or dulce de leche. A calorie bomb for sure, don’t tell friends that I indulged.
There’s something very interesting about Spring. The days couldn’t get longer if they never got shorter, the sunlight couldn’t become more intense if it didn’t ever get less intense, and the temperatures couldn’t get warmer if they never got cooler. While I naturally gravitate toward Spring, the season couldn’t be possible without Autumn. Spring and Autumn are really flip sides of the same coin, each making the other possible. There’s something very yin and yang about it; it’s all very zen.
Thank you Autumn, for making Spring possible. As this too shall pass, and when the weather cools once again, I’ll do my best to remember that you are friend and not foe.
