In Search of Spring

Looking down at Lake Winnipesaukee from top of Mt Major

Despite the clouds and coolness

 – and yet another snow storm –

we all emerged from hibernation

to climb Mt Major today:

older folks walking dogs;

parents carrying infants

or cajoling their kids;

teenagers flying downhill

their sneakers like skis

through the snow.

When, in a sudden magic moment

 the sun burst through the gloom,

we spread our spirits

until we were sails.
