Here we are on the last Tuesday of the month.
As I was chalking down today’s quote, I earwormed myself with the Phil Collins song, “One More Night.”
I could think of worse songs to be humming in my head as I looked up how many days until the big religious holidays this spring.
That song is forty years old. It came out in 1985. World War Two was forty years old when Phil Collins crooned about having just one more night.
Forty years and I still don’t know what the hell “Sussudio” means. So I used that google deal and looked it up. I think I was better off not knowing. I suggest that you don’t google it. You’ll only be let down like I was. Not knowing what sussudio means is probably a good thing.
Back to the quote….
“One more time”
After going through six months of natures declined into winter hibernation, we get another chance at watching rebirth.
I am already starting to hear the morning songbirds with their pre dawn chorus.
Early spring flowers are starting to pop up in the garden and soon the buds will appear on the barren tree branches.
We are getting another chance to witness the glory of spring. Our Hindu brothers and sisters just celebrated their spring festival of Holi.
Soon our Jewish friends will set a chair for Elijah at their Passover table and Christians will pay high prices for Easter eggs.
Spring is upon us and we get another shot and witnessing rebirth.
It’s time to wash the winter filth off of the dining room window. It’s time to get the Speedo out of storage and it’s time to fill up the tires on the Schwinn.
I don’t know about you, but I’m done Wintering. I’m ready for a rebirth and another glance at the beauty around me.
The older that I get, the more important spring has become. It’s an annual second chance at experiencing how fucking glorious life is.
Spring is springing. It hasn’t sprung yet, but it’s starting to spring. Get ready to listen to the rush of a spring breeze through the fresh foliage and the smell of new cut grass filling the air.
Roll down the car windows and jam some Phil Collins today. Make sure you’re at a stoplight for any drum solos.
