March 2022 newsletter – What does your mind conjure when you hear the word spring?

The season, with images of blossom, daffodils, snowdrops? The coiled spring in your mattress? A gymnast or a gazelle leaping forward? A clear brook of water? Tigger?! How do these different meanings of the word figure in your life?
