Spring-series V.

„Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.”                                                                           Maria Rilke

Spring is green, tender, and alive. It’s the childhood stage of the seasons of transitions where innocence and purity permeate the atmosphere.

Spring seems to bring a rebirth to all of nature.  The blossoms arrive, the yellow daffodils and tulips show their colors, and the trees begin to display the light green shades of new leaves.  Our gardens begin to show signs of new life as the vegetables rise from the soil.  Spring means rebirth.

For animals, this season is a time of emergence and migration. Insects and hibernators emerge from their winter sleeping places.
Birds stake out their breeding, nesting and feeding territories so they may raise their young. The air is filled with birdsong.

Bees and bee mimics fly through the air to pollinate trees, shrubs and native flowers. Butterflies emerge after overwintering in tree crevices, as adults. Salamanders, toads and frogs emerge from hibernation. Frogs sing their mating songs.

„The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring.”                                                    Bern Williams

What is your resolution for the New Year?

According to researchers, making resolutions is useful. If you make a resolution you are more likely to attain your goals.

Have you made one for 2012? The most typical intentions are to lose weight or quit smoking, here is a song which gives you more ideas and makes you laugh perhaps:)

Task: Fill in the gaps while listening.

New Year Resolution song
 

Working out, losing …………… 

maybe using tanning spray

becoming more attractive in general

reading more, watching less

learning all the rules for chess

becoming somewhat ………………. in general

eating fish, not fingernails

……………… to save the whales

becoming a better guy in general

…………… more, spending less

yes I will wax my chest

dating more girls in general

But not this year. No this year is different!

As different as a gazelle. Yes, a gazelle from a deer. (They're actually not that different.)

After all these …………… resolutions.

My future is clear, the future is near!

Just forget those resolutions you

know that you are never gonna do

and adopt a more realistical …………….

by …………….. to things that come easily to you

like eat at least one ………….. meal a week

or put the correct shoes on the correct feet

just "Raise the bar to walk effortlessly underneath!"

Just …………… the fact you've always thought

those resolutions don't mean squat

Settle in to a comfortable spot

embrace all the things you know you are not.

Hit the snooze, roll over, then repeat

Make large ………….., then lose the ……………….

just "Raise the bar to walk effortlessly underneath!"
