“I love the smell of rain and growing things.” – Serina Hernandez. She walked through the wet lush grass along the stream. The scent of a fresh spring rain was most inspiring to her. In those simple moments, after the clouds cleared, before the sun appeared in the sky, everything appeared still. It was as if life had been cleansed of the past and it was all at once a new beginning.
