Spring: The season of new beginnings

 

Time to finish all that Easter Candy and go outside. Spring has begun and it looks lovely, well at least in Second Life it does. I hope where you are on the planet also shows some new beginnings.

I don't really have to explain Spring because most of us know what that means. In German, we call it Frühling and it is such a happy time and reminds me of many walks in the forests and looking for newborn animals.

Johann Strauss wrote the Walzer called Frühlingsstimmen and I know when you listen to it you will want to go run outside and feel the new beginnings as well.

Take a listen to it and then visit some of the beautiful sims there are to explore in Second Life.
It is so amazing how the residents here create such pretty landscapes and you will feel the seasons all over you. I think one of the things to do besides working on my own parcel is to visit other places in Second Life, especially as the seasons change.

The lark rises into the blue,
the mellow wind mildly blowing;
his lovely mild breath revives
and kisses the field, the meadow.
Spring in all its splendor rises,
ah all hardship is over,
sorrow becomes milder,
good expectations,
the belief in happiness returns;
sunshine, you warm us,
ah, all is laughing, oh, oh awakes!

You can't help but smile and forget about your troubles, at least for a little while.

Look at these playful goats, it is like you can feel their joy as they jump and embrace Spring.

Even in Vivaldi's Four Seasons can feel the joy of spring. The masters from long ago knew how much fun it is to welcome the new beginning. 

So if you are stuck at home go out there and visit some of the marvelous Sims in Second Life all blooming with the season of Spring.

It has given me something to smile about as I sit at home sick with some food poisoning I acquired.
