It’s that time of the year again.  Spring is creeping up on us, new shoots are poking up from the ground and festivals of regeneration and re-birth are taking place around the world.  In my ancestral part of the world, South and West Asia,  the festival of Holi, (celebrated in South Asia) and Norooz (celebrated in West Asia), are coming up this month.  Holi is March 8, Norooz is March 20th.  Both feature fire, a meditation on righteousness and lots of color.
