Good Bye February; Welcome March

The nature has bestowed our habitat Earth, with four seasons; spring, summer, Autumn, Winter, and all of them have its own colours, sounds and vibes. We have passed the last day of Leap Year February and this day is the 1st day of March; which is beginning of new Spring season. This write up is about the end of winters and beginning of new hopes; fresh life emanating from mother nature. “This is the perfume of March: rain, loam, feathers, mint.” Lisa Kleypas

“Now when the primrose makes a splendid show, And lilies face the March-winds in full blow, And humbler growths as moved with one desire; Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire…” — William Wordsworth

The human race has gone through various cycles before making society and forming civilization. However, as the major part of humans have lived around rivers and remained dependent upon land for sustenance. Therefore, seasons were used for the calculation of the years and months were named based upon seasonal climatic conditions. The end of year has been winters and spring was the beginning of new year. March is the 1st month of Spring. “By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run, and the world would wake into itself again.” — Neil Gaiman

“March is the month of expectation,

the things we do not know —

The persons of prognostication

Are coming now —

We try to sham becoming firmness —

But pompous joy

betrays us, as his first betrothal

betrays a boy.”

— Emily Dickinson

March is here — showing the signs of the awakening of spring and revitalizing the energy that inspires us to appreciate every blooming flower and lengthening day! It’s a time for renewal, growth, and the anticipation of vibrant days ahead. Whether we embrace the arrival of spring or not, the fact is that the Spring shows its signs so ominously; that it injects positivity and inspiration into your days and night and therefore our lives in a big way. “March brings breezes loud and shrill, stirs the dancing daffodil.”

― Sara Coleridge

“How terrible a time is the beginning of March. In a month there will be daffodils and the sudden blossoming of orchards, but you wouldn’t know it now. You have to take spring on blind faith.”

— Beatriz Williams

“I have said that there was great pleasure in watching the ways in which different plants come through the ground, and February and March are the months in which that can best be seen.”

— Henry N. Ellacombe

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”

— Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
