Not only are plants in bloom, but so is unrest and discontent. So is concern and compassion. So is apathy and exhaustion. Such is life, and all is in bloom.
Reading is my favorite escape, and I feel like we could all use a little break from the absolute chaos that is this planet right now, so find some renewal in the pages of good book.
