Story:

The Edge of Spring

He stood at the edge of the woods that creaked and moaned. Now that the snow had thinned and the earth began to remember warmth, the trees could stretch toward the heavens once more. The wind carried something soft. Not quite a scent, not quite a sound, but something familiar, like a memory that rose with his breath.

Winter had been long, but not unkind. There had been time to rest, to think, to walk slowly through the hush only the snow can bring. And now, without rush or reason, something inside him, like a flame, began to flicker.

He didn’t move just yet. Not because he needed to be still, but because stillness felt good. The hush around him held room for wonder, for remembering the scent of blooming things and imagining the feel of soft grass underfoot. He was lost in the kind of daydream that visits just before joy returns.

The time would come for running. For leaping through green fields and chasing the wind. But today, the joy was in the waiting. In the knowing. In the slow and certain coming of spring.

“All the best things are wild and free.”
— Henry David Thoreau
