The World Is "Standing Still." Really?

The comment was made, during last night’s evening  news, that the world is “standing still.”

And I thought to myself, those who think that way must not live where the trees are blooming, the crocus have poked their little flowers above the still cold soil.  Where daffodils bless the landscape; and the fields are being prepared for the summer crops.

Then this morning I looked out my patio door and saw my Little-Lime Hydrangea tree with healthy green leaves covering it branches.

¹ O Lord, our Sovereign,

   how majestic is your name in all the earth! ...(Ps. 8)

In the mid-west the phrase: Spring has sprung is a true statement. 

Spring has moved the earth — the world — into a bouquet of life; nothing is staying in the winter’s bleakness.

Lawns need weekly mowings.

The air is clean with the Spring rains bring new growth becoming evident every day.

The earth is booming with possibilities.

Windows and door stand open to let the fresh clean air into winter’s closed up homes.

People have put on their shoes walking, or running, outside in the cool air.  

Bikers are seen more frequently on the streets. 

Golfers are on the golf course. 

Tennis player, socially distanced, move around the courts mastering that little yellow ball.

The whole world is alive with new, fresh, life.

My eyes do not witness any evidence of a world that has grown dormant.
