It 's hard to think about springtime where I live right now with several feet of snow still piled on the ground, but my body senses the change in light and my spirit is on the rise.  Winter light is giving way to more sunshine, the harbinger of spring, and I feel like I am waking up.

We learn about ourselves through fresh experience. Infinite possibilities, that we have had no prior knowlege of even existing, present themselves when we clean house. At this time of the year, Mother Earth is busy sweeping away clutter and debris making way for new life. In the same way, we can set our intent into new directions by letting go of the things that hold us back. Most often, all it takes is a change in perspective to see how things have been piling up. If we shift our viewpoint a tiny bit to the right or left, we will have a clearer picture of the way we set up our house keeping. We can take out the garbage, clear away the clutter and make room for new life.
