Spring is everywhere. From the sky, it falls in small white blossoms, fugitives from a rapid winter birth. In my community, the small greening garden bushes light up like stars in the dark sky. In the distance, a dust storm looms, hovering with impending doom. However, the pleasant scene of the spring flowers inside these brick walls quickly takes over and fills my heart with joy.

Later that day, my friend and I sit in a majestic church, listening as the voice of the pastor echoes in the wide space. Rays of dimmed sunlight fall between the pews and statues as the hour passes. I am slowly being refined through my weekly visits to this place, as if a hammer were knocking useless thoughts out of my head. I laugh a little at this because in many ways, I am going through the same changes as the flowers in my own garden. The spring wind is tearing?away?weak petals, leaving the flowers with strong roots and their special, hidden color.
