Majicman Notes

Spring always feels to me like nature’s annual parade, one that calls us to join a cel­eb­ra­tion of new life and new pos­sib­il­it­ies. This year I real­ise how des­per­ate I am for this dis­play — not only because of the long winter but because it feels like we could all bene­fit from a reminder of the world’s beauty.

Noth­ing can or should min­im­ise the ser­i­ous­ness of recent news, of polit­ical upheaval, wars and dis­asters. But one of the gifts of spring, this spring espe­cially, is that even when life feels fraught and chal­len­ging, the non-human, nat­ural world can point us towards moments of relief, and oppor­tun­it­ies for embra­cing a richer exist­ence.
