In the March issue of the Flaming Rose Journal, we joyously celebrate once again the coming of Spring. As tender green buds and flowers start to bloom, we feel the Urge of New Life growing within our Heart, within our Being, within Everything. Winter is ending Life is beginning again Life is beginning again with the Spring with the Spring
