The Swallows Return

#1 Postby Downdraft » Thu May 26, 2005 6:10 am

I make this post every year because the analogy is so true. For hundreds of years the swallows have returned to Capistrano mission always on a certain day and a certain time. Like those swallows the long hiatus of winter is over now and the names of the faithful begin once again to show up on the board. Caught like those birds with the same strong urges we return year after year on June 1st to begin the season.
