    March On!

    Dear Unsealers,
    It’s the first day of March.

    January took a century to go by. February passed through quickly.
    March is a month of transition.

    As the clocks will turn ahead an hour in a week. More daylight on the commute home from work.
    The countdown to Easter begins. The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday.

    A month that honors women, and brings cerebral palsy to the forefront. And a moment marking five years since the world as we knew it was upended.

    March is a month when the seasons begin to change. It begins in the last days of winter and comes to a close at the start of spring.

    All in thirty-one days.

    As with every month, a welcome in verse:

    March
    Month number three, in 2025

    The month comes in like a lion
    As winter’s chill and hints of spring trade days

    Thirty-one days lie ahead.
    A season of transition

    From clocks moving ahead
    Equal hours of night and day

    A month of solemnity
    The countdown to Easter begins.

    It’s also Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month.
    And five years since the Awakening

    The month goes out like a lamb
    As the first blooms arrive

    • Oswald, I love how you always usher in a new month with hopeful anticipation! March feels like a month of transition to me as well. As winter fades away and spring begins to show its colors, we feel a sense of possibility….unless we are talking about five years ago when March stood for something completely different. Thank you for sharing this piece!
