Students may find it easiest to discuss the personal narratives Ehrlich embeds within the essay: her bout with pneumonia and her use of spring as a metaphor for recovery; her discovery of an injured eagle and the personal significance she attaches to its survival; the proposal of marriage from Joel, his death in a pickup accident, and her spring-inspired dream of his riding across the range on "a black studhorse." In each of these episodes Ehrlich sees the restorative power of the natural cycle, spring following winter. It is also important to ask, however, why Ehrlich includes details about time in Julius Caesar's reign and discussions with physicists about the illusoriness of human concepts: What is the significance of an Einsteinian concept of time in which past, present, and future become meaningless notions?
