Spring is a time for hope and faith in the future. The light of heaven returns and what has been dead in nature is brought back to life. The streams are freed from their ice cover and let the water ripple forward. The buds burst and unfold their floral splendor. Humans and animals are looking further out from house and home to explore the newly awakened surroundings. It is not difficult to imagine the society where gifts were sacrificed so that spring would come early and so that vital crops would grow with new energy. Spring offering with a desire for help to make life a little easier.
