What We May Be

Spring is a wonderful time of year, isn’t it? Except for the allergies, of course. I love spring because it really does seem like a time of new beginnings and change.

"We know what we are, but not what we may be." Shakespeare

I picked this quote because it seems like a good encapsulation of my feelings of spring (even though I’m well aware that this quote doesn’t mean that in context of the play, but I take my inspiration how I can). If we are self-reflective, we know who we are now. After all, we just have to look back over our history to see where we’ve come from and where we stand.

But it is an entirely different matter to know what we may become. No one knows that, which is either hopefully or scary or something in between, depending on your attitude and outlook. To me, it is hopeful and delightful and wonderful. We are still in the process of becoming, no matter who we are. Our art, our writing, our living, everything still has possibility. That makes me want to dance, then get back to creating.

I hope spring has blossomed in your part of the world. If it is still covered in snow, I hope you feel the hope of spring in your heart. I hope you are energized to create and to become what you’ve always wanted to be this spring. 🙂
