It’s almost the end of June—I know. But the book I am reading nudged me to use Spring and May in this post.
Don’t you like Spring and May? I believe most of us do. They are full of colours, warmth, hope, beauty, brightenss, rebirth, and so many other positive qualities.
Yet we… no, some… perhaps a few are just fighting the first and engaging in a usuelss war against the second.
Now, just a second— I mean Spring and May literally, not literarily.
Here are two quotes to ponder over this weekend… or perhaps for the rest of your life.
“Don’t go fighting against the Spring.”
To me, this means: don’t try to spoil beautiful moments. If you can not live them, at least pause to appreciate them.
“War not with the May.”
This has a similar interpretation to the other, but war is stronger, more dangerous than fight, right? To start a war is to destroy things completely, mercilessly, savagely.
So, “War not with the May” means: do not destroy life, beauty, hope, or dreams. Let May live. Perhaps its warmth, feshness, and tendreness can find a way into those dark, solid hearts.
By the way, spring is not just about May. Your soul and heart can blossom at any time throughout your entire life.
Haven’t you seen flowers in December, and green trees in Januray?
With hope and peace,
Nahla
