It’s May, and that means spring is bursting forth: Flowers are blooming, days are growing longer, and our skin is welcoming the sunlight. For many of us, spring is when we feel lighter, brighter, and more hopeful. It’s a remarkable season to be alive, and birth, rebirth, growth, warmth, and beauty abound. Now is when nature awakens, and we—as part of nature—can also awaken to what’s here and what’s possible.
As spring blossoms, we tuck away our coats, shake off our homebound hibernation, and remember that we have a body made to move. Sometimes we don’t exactly appreciate the body that’s revealed as hoodies give way to T-shirts, but here it is, keeping us alive regardless of the season.
