Spring dissolves life's cares in the amber glow of possibility.
From A World Worth Saving, one of 296 sayings written by John Sarris over thirty years.
From Alfred’s journal
First warm morning since October, and I spent most of it on the low rail by the Hendricks' fence doing nothing at all. The light came through the new maple leaves and turned the whole yard the color of weak honey. For years I held that spring was a liar, that the thaw changes nothing and the same troubles are waiting under it, and I said so often enough that Switch began mouthing the words back at me. But today I could not locate a single one of my grievances. Spring dissolves life's cares in the amber glow of possibility, and I wrote that down while suspecting it would read differently in November. The thing I keep turning over is whether a feeling that short is still false.
