ST. STEPHEN\u2019S SPRING<\/span><\/p>\n

Just returned from an afternoon stroll through Dublin\u2019s St. Stephen\u2019s Green. And \u2026 le printemps est arrive. <\/span><\/p>\n

St. Stephen\u2019s is, in a word, green. And in bloom. Or about to be.<\/p>\n

On my stroll I recalled something my rabbi told me last winter:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we know is that right now, underground, the sap is sapping already,\u201d Rabbi Irwin Kula said. \u201cLife is happening even though we\u2019re not aware of it yet. Because in April, no matter what, things will bloom.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Indeed.<\/p>\n

Here are a few snaps of green spring a-bloomin\u2019 in Dublin<\/p>\n
