March has arrived with a spring day and a new sense of newness. And I feel liberated from the repression of winter. Not that it has been a huge winter - and I expect we will still get some of it. But spring has an epiphanic quality, where the world can be seen anew, where we get the chance to shake off the cobwebs, stretch our legs and feel the sun on our faces once again.
