The pine stays green in winter...wisdom in hardship.

The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying.

Winter always turns to spring.

Slush is frozen over. People say that winter lasts forever, but it's because they obsess over the thermometer. North in the mountains, the maple syrup is trickling. Brave geese punch through the thin ice left on the lake. Underground, pale seeds roll over in their sleep. Starting to get restless. Starting to dream green.
