Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.
If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?
It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries.
Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.
When I lament and darken over my diminishments, I accomplish nothing. It's better to sit at the window all day, pleased to watch birds, barns, and flowers.
After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.
