Spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems.

Rainer Maria Rilke

In the blue dawn the twittery chatter and lilting tunes come in by the window on a breeze lighter these days, laced with tender warmth. It is this air that coaxes the brave shoots of green from their sodden beds, beckons the birds from their sleepy hideouts. The light comes early now. All of it, all together bidding welcome.

Did you enjoy your hibernation? Are you awake these daylight-saving days? But breathe, and forget if it matters. Now the wild world is calling you; now you can get up.
