Robins and cardinals are singing this 35 degree Minneapolis morning. Up in Pembina County the sharptail grouse are dancing their mating dance with full vigor and enthusiasm They love life, and earnestly want to live, procreate, eat and make babies to perpetuate their species.
Their instincts and hormones inform them that life is not meaningless and absurd. They are bursting with purpose and the will to live and survive. Perhaps this biological sense of life and meaning will inspire the cynics, pessimists and world-weary among us to take stock and find hope and comfort from the primordial optimism of the birds in nature at spring time.
