Spring forward: Rosemary Field on the growing edge
‘There shall be new leaves.’

Look well to the growing edge. All around us worlds are dying and new worlds are being born; all around us life is dying and life is being born. The fruit ripens on the tree, the roots are silently at work in the darkness of the earth against a time when there shall be new leaves, fresh blossoms, green fruit. Such is the growing edge! (Howard Thurman, The Growing Edge).
