Alongside the shift toward warmer weather, the return to more light that the spring equinox heralds is innately uplifting. As are the signs of new life after a hard winter.

Maybe seeing everything around us being reborn assuages our deepest fears about mortality. Either way, the joy of spring requires no dogma and no faith to experience.
