This is not a ring of the present, but a ring of the past and the future working together. It’s the ring of the last leaf of winter, which still hangs on to the tree and remembers the summer, and the first leaf of the spring, which bursts from the branch with hope and excitement for the new. It’s a ring that understands that living in the present is important, but that the present’s meaning is bestowed by the memory of the past and the dream of whatever is next.
