“Half an hour in a spring evening is worth a thousand gold pieces.”
-Japanese Proverb
Traditional Chinese
medicine incorporates the element of wood into springtime health regimens. It’s
used by practitioners, and the other elements of fire, earth, metal and water, to
promote healing with food, herbs and acupuncture points. This year’s season of
regeneration was particularly welcome. We didn’t have much snow this past
winter, but frigid temperatures and freezing rain followed us until almost
mid-April. Interspersed were a few days of 50-degree weather which prompted
spring buds to come out only to soon be covered in ice.
Many Hudson
Valley parks begin their warm weather season in April and May, and galleries
extend their hours as well. The season is a pleasant change and brings motivation. The Hudson Valley has definitely seen worse winters,
but that doesn’t make this particular spring any less deserved.
