  • Butterflies, Daffodils and Unicorns



    Spring has sprung. The air is warmer. The grass is green again. The birds are chirping. You can hear the crickets and the frogs at night. You can smell the fresh flowers and the trees as they bloom. The ancient Greeks celebrated spring as the return of Persephone to the world of her mother Demeter. For as Persephone lived for six months out of every year in the underworld with Hades, Demeter in her despair left the Earth fallow and without any growth, warmth or nurture. Spring is the time for renewal and a burst of energy. It is the time to open the windows and let in the sunshine. It is a time to feel the breeze of a new season and to leave the tired and the old of winter for another time. It is a time for sheer joy in the reawakening of the world. Yeah, unless you have an autistic child, who hates daylight saving time and has decided that he is finished with school somewhere around the Ides of March.

    "What do I do? Withdraw my son?"

    "You have that right but you have to leave after the campus police get here."
