Ah, September, the beginning of Spring!—
season of growing light and new unfoldings,
season that smells of promise, of the future!
Sounds odd, doesn’t it?
Only if you’re in the Northern hemisphere,
and only if you think it’s always about you.
Your experience is not the norm;
your perspective is not completely right,
your reality not the only one.
Even when you take sides, stay humble.
Practice curiosity. Listen.
So often there is also another right answer.
And to you, friends in the global south,
and to you who are usually ignored:
you are not forgotten. The last shall be first.
In the Realm of God,
every day
is the first day of Spring.
