Life.......

This was good! From Yardsnacker tonight......

Why is life like that? Why is it, when things are broken down, not just leaves, but hearts, hopes, and souls, they are actually at their greatest potential for growth? I do not know the answer, I only know that our hearts must break every now and again, even with those we love, in order to make way for the beautiful blossoms of a new growing season, our own internal Spring.
