"As the days become warmer and brighter, nature rouses from her winter
slumber and looks ahead to the new growth of spring. The Wood, which has been
at rest, storing and concentrating its energy under a winter blanket, now bursts
forth with new buds, new life piercing Earth's crust. The swelling Wood of spring
initiates rebirth - a surge of rising energy, like the young lamb staggering
up to nurse, like the dandelion whose growing edge can burst through concrete
if it must. Wood is the energy of youth and growth: a new beginning, a vision
of a whole new cycle. The Wood energy of spring is an expression of life at
its strongest..."
