Life takes many forms, shapes, and colours, all providentially grounded in cycles. Everything has a source, a journey, and a purpose. Nothing happens by chance. Ultimately, everything serves the source of life. When I reflect on all these natural phenomena, I can find only one word to describe them: “Spring”.

Spring speaks of life as a cycle, with a source, a journey, and a meaning. The forms, shapes, and colours of the natural world come together in an order where nothing is accidental, each element contributing to the continuity of life. The spring thus becomes a symbol of beginnings and of the source from which all things draw their existence.
