In the spring, our little queen will make her annual appearance and once again remind us to smile and sing and enjoy a walk in the park.
Especially this year. This winter had been particularly hard. So many people cooped up inside, filled with fear and worry. The streets are quiet, and sadness filled the air: too much internet, too much T.V., and way too much bad news.
Iris knew she had a challenge. People were afraid to let their children go to the park, afraid to hold hands, and picnics were out of the question.
Iris also understood that beauty, nature, a little fresh air, and sunshine was good medicine. Her purple robe must be far more vivid than years before, and her yellow crown must be a beacon of light for people to see from a distance. So with dignity and purpose, she arrived, she smiled, the queen bowed, and she filled the world with love.
Iris said, "This spring will be the beginning of things renewed, love will triumph, and it will begin with me!"
