Signs of Spring

I was walking through Central Park last February and noticed a Robin while passing a seemingly empty field I saw a Robin. Then I noticed another Robin and a third one and then I realized that even though they were spread out, the whole field was populated by Robins. I tried to share the view with a young couple walking by "Look here, this field is full of Robins!" I must have sounded like a lunatic because they said "yeah, yeah, yeah" and kept walking. It did not matter. It was enough to feel the gratitude of the moment. I felt a deep sense of the shifting winter light. Everything was still asleep but the earth in its rotation had moved slightly closer to the sun. I imagine that the Robins felt it first.
