Breaking Spring

After Matt Hart 

 seems like a good way to say
I spent all last week feeling helpless
and talking about it in terms of not being

I was starting to lose hope
that the sun had abandoned us
It's easy to focus on the cold
when you're surrounded by snow

the buds are blooming
and like the leaves on the trees
I shed my layers

I wander and am enchanted by vivid colors
Ruby Red, Blushing Pink, and Vivacious Yellow
My heart is full

the warm sun illuminates my skin
and I feel human again
I'm alive
               I'm alive
                               and I breathe

The bees are creating new life
right before my eyes
they're humming a sweet serendipitous song

I bask in the warmth of the present moment
The bees, the birds, the trees speak to me
Blissful and freeing
Who has time for fatigue, has time for peace

The last change I've made is to read and be in nature more. Reading other people's stories always offers me hope and inspiration, and nature is healing. These changes have all brought me out

Ron Hughart

"Everything will work out and there will be more good days than bad ones" I've been reading a lot of non-fiction lately, mostly self-help kind of books. Although, out of all the proclaimed "self-help" books I've read, nothing has pulled at my heart strings like this autobiography. Ron Hughart is an amazingly inspirational person because of the trials and tribulations he has overcome. His autobiography includes his journey of living in a migrant family during the 1940's just after the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. This book has deeply shifted my perspective on life and has made me grateful for every blessing. To name a few are: having carpet on the floor, a bed to sleep in, clean clothes and water, and food in my belly. I believe this book should be apart of the English curriculum in schools because it is inspiring to everyone, especially migrant families. Hughart represents children whose parents are constantly moving in search for emp
