Renaissance means rebirth.

Choose your own renaissance.  Right now I'm thinking green (or as my youngest daughter says, "geen".)

St. Patrick's day and going green, saving our world and all that jazz.  Making it fun.

Spring and green shoots popping up in gardens, and tender leaves on trees.  It is all good.  Even if we didn't have a winter here in the south.

“In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, ―no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, ―my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, ―all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.”
―Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When we speak of Nature it is wrong to forget that we are ourselves a part of Nature. We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe."  - Henri Matisse

Plant a tree, and hug it.  Find a tree and hug it.
