the season of growth is a period of time and change and growth

Spring (noun) means: the season of growth is a period of time and change and growth. It emerges from time, change, growth, period: change together with growth and the bounds of a temporal period form a recurring cycle influenced by climatic drift. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 17, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
