Grass That Makes Me High

I love the spring. I love everything about it, the new leaves appearing on the trees and the flowers blooming. What really seems to set spring into motion is the green grass. One day it seems like everything is lifeless and then you wake up one morning and everything is green. The grass seems to go on forever and it is exhilerating. The green grass makes you feel like your spirit is reborn and you feel rejuvenated. You make plans and you seem more focused. One day you can hardly convince yourself to roll out of bed and the next morning you can't wait to greet the day. People take anti depressants more in the winter than in the spring and the elderly sink into depression over the winter months. Spring comes and the world is set right again. Even though nothing has changed the world looks like a better place. There is hope that springs up with every blade of grass that appears. If we could only bottle the feeling when spring comes, so we could take it all year long. I have even noticed in the students on campus that there is a spring in their walk and they walk with a purpose. They are more animated in their conversations and actions. Amazing what a little grass can do for a persons outlook on life.
