Spring's Songbirds

I awoke yesterday to the sweet-as-molasses melodies of birds outside my window. They were a polished chorus, one could tell by their playful collective musical dynamic exchange, delighting in themselves and their surrounds.

Spring is truly the season of song, and songbirds sing the lyrics of spring themes: love, rebirth, being alive in this natural order of things unfolding around us ... and at times seemingly, that change is muted. But the songbird does his and her job well, bringing all of us who are tuned to listen, to take in the fanciful notes, a little closer with each bar, progression.

What’s that I hear? A little Allegro Moderato? The pace quickens into a tumultuous but controlled, passionate Prestissimo… The resonance has inherent allure. I awaken in mind body and spirit. Thank you sweet sounds of song in flight…

Any particular species of songbird a favorite of yours? How so? Please drop us a line or two. We would love to hear from you!

Cheers!

Gary
