May is a season of regrowth. It is when spring really kicks into high gear. A time when the world around us comes alive again and some of us tell stories through what we cultivate. It is a time when we return to the earth because the ground is ready to receive us. Having released the cold hardness of winter, new life bursts forth, new blossoms telling the story of their time in seed and what they are becoming above ground. It is a story of life, of brightness and color, growth and joy which permeates the air. But it is short-lived, as is every life, really. The flowers of spring depart quickly for the sturdier growth of summer, and it can be easy to forget the frost-defying crocus and the sudden blink-and-it’s-gone burst of lilacs.

At a time when the stories we tell shape our world in palpable ways, the question who lives, who dies, who tells your story calls to us to grab hold of the chorus, to blend our voices and tell a richer, bigger, more multilayered and sometimes far more complex story of who we are and who we can be together.
