Foreword

Every year for the past five years in early spring a blackbird has perched himself on the tree outside our window. It warms my spirit to listen to him singing his heart out from dawn till dusk. I suppose he’s singing to woo his love-bird. The fact that his love-heart invariably keeps him waiting for at least two months before arriving doesn’t put him off his constant singing. He never quits. Singing is what he does; singing is natural to him. Or maybe he just sings because he can.

I often wonder if he knows how melodiously he sings in the clear air of the day. Unlike most adults, he doesn’t seem to have any reservations or hang-ups about singing. You see, singing is part of his natural habitat; singing is his way of being; and singing is what he does… from his heart. And so, he sings with confidence, with gusto, and with complete freedom!
