In the middle of Lent

The crocuses came out last weekend around our house. There's little bits of green sticking through the ground that in a few weeks will be tulips or daffodils. My amaryllis is growing on my kitchen table... faithfully appearing each year.

It's in the middle of Lent that I look for these signs of life. Some time in the middle of "take a walk with God" month, I begin to look for signs of resurrection after a lengthy season of winter death.

Check out this clip from Fantasia 2000 and see if you can find connections between its story and our beloved Christian story of Holy Week and Easter. Feel free to comment!
