Pablo Neruda once said, “You cannot keep Spring from coming.” This is true for our Sixers who openly welcomed Spring and the new beginnings that come with it. In this week’s SixContest, we asked for your Six Words on Spring Renewal. You shared hundreds of sixes with many touching personal stories, inspiring plans for Spring, and intuitive impressions towards the holy week. With so many incredible submissions, you made it tough to pick just six! Our favorites on spring renewal are:
