Saturday night I came across this exquisite photograph of young children in India celebrating Spring's arrival in a yearly cultural festival called Holi (Festival of Colors).  I can't describe the feeling that came over me when it opened on my screen.  Something like a mix between having the air sucked out of my lungs (but not painful) and a cool calming breeze on a sweltering day.  It caused me to aske myself, "When was the last time we celebrated the changing seasons (or any other seemingly ordinary event) with such unadulterated joy?"  What a beautiful reminder this image is for me...to work towards breathing life in more fully and seeing the world with brighter eyes.  xo Ez
