The Greening Springing

About the Book

The Greening Springing, with an introduction by Fred Upton, Member of Congress Michigan, 6th District, commemorates the mystical gift of the Calm and its attending virtues; the emergence, progression, decline, and devastated-longing at the ensuing loss: its love; its inspiration; its abounding joy. Friends visiting the Prophet represent the human side of each individual; the side which may wish to make excuses, be selfish, angry, faultfinding, or is merely wimpy; the side which “loves” the lessor. The Prophet’s response reflects the divine side; the side which knows best and knows better which exudes inherent joy; loves majestically; searches for truth endlessly; and which we frequently override with our purely human side and its desires regardless of the circumstance or outcome.
