Perhaps, in that moment, the mind knows something the body does not. That spring, though distant, is not a far-off promise. It’s already inside us, folded in the dark corners of our subconscious, just as the seeds are hidden in the soil, waiting for the warmth of the sun to coax them into bloom. The flowers we dream of are not bound by the calendar or the temperature; they are symbols of renewal, of possibility, of cycles that cannot be broken.
In the deepest part of winter, we are reminded that even the harshest cold cannot stop the inevitable. Just as the flowers are destined to bloom, so too are we destined to emerge from the darkness, to warm again, to be made new.
