Is it feeling like spring yet where you are? Do you hear more birds chirping? Are there tender buds on the trees? It’s full-on spring mode where I am, but I have friends in the Southern hemisphere who are gearing up for colder days, and I know others who’ve been reveling in warm weather for months now. Time and space still feel a bit nebulous, but at least we have our seasons to ground us.

I know lots of folks are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today, and others are gearing up for Holi festivities, or a feast for Purim or Nowruz. I love it when various cultural holidays fall on the same day or weekend. It underlines how similar we all are, and how we relish the opportunity to celebrate a lot of the same things.
