Green Spring Renews Life’s Promise
For me, two of the loveliest words in the English language are “Life persists”. I came across
them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored,
working on a history paper, I don’t recall (21) I was researching into. Out of nowhere,
those two words came (22) (dance) off the page in a quote by Gandhi, “In the midst of
death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness lightpersists.”
After those words (23) (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer
bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green
lawn.
I love spring. And this year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to
Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I (24)
almost taste them. When I approached Vegas, the green turned a dull desert brown.
We landed after sunset, and the only green to be seen was neon (霓虹灯).
But the next morning, to my surprise, I (25) (awake) to find signs of spring all
over my yard. (26) my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days
later, I drove to Arizona to visit a friend and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play
the A’s in spring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of
wildflowers and blooming cactuses.
Sometimes we need the chance
