Happy Birthday to JS Bach On this First Day of Spring

Lake Michigan on a Snowy Vernal Equinox today,"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair" Khalil Gibran

Today is the Vernal Equinox,It was snowy along the lake today,yet the air felt crisp and vibrant,like ,a creative force of springtime was almost touchable in the mist. It is also J.S.Bach's birthday,born March 21,1865.There is a feeling of rebirth in his music,much like the air of this spring day. As I walked along the windswept lake I thought of these words by Khalil Gibran,"And forget not the earth delights,to feel your bare feet and the winds love to play with your hair"
