Natural transition on the island offers renewal, but it comes with a serious shift in our sense of being, and it calls for adaptation. We leave behind the stark firmness of bare trees, the illusory permanence of lake ice, and the hard face of below-freezing temperatures. In their place we sense an approaching moderation created by healing humidity and new rays of warmth. As we acknowledge the increase in daylight hours with new priorities and objectives, and recognize some lethargy may have set in, we look hesitantly from tranquility to accelerated engagement. The new context generates, nay insists upon, a new outlook. Resistance is futile; embrace is the answer. The journey evolves with meaning, and island life meets again with fruition.
