HAPPY SPRING! I just learned of Holi . People in India and other countries with large Hindu populations celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colors. It is celebrated as a welcoming of Spring, and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. Each year people come out into the streets and welcome spring with color and playfulness. Instead of coloring eggs, you color your family, friends, dogs and strangers until the entire community is a rainbow of celebration!

Hey I wanted to comment on your newest post. It did not have a comment button. So I commented on this one. I thought that little talk was amazing. I liked the part "the more we rely on the spirit the more creative we will become. I needed to hear that. Thanks
