the incredible springtime concert has begun in earnest, the air is
filled with the lovely voices of birds. clear, clean whistled songs,
buzzy trills, warbled notes all: sounds of birdies rejoicing everywhere.

sounds can change my mood faster than anything else. birdsong can
elevate me from feeling like a tired dust-covered antique and transform
me into a shiney new person, ripe with passion and life and energy.

i would die if this magnificent springtime concert was taken from me.
