First this! Or, how to connect snowdrops with Shopenhauer...

A nasty virus caught me. And I am not the only victim. But... But I saw the first flowers in Rotterdam today! Does this mean Spring?... You may say it. In our Calvinist conservative country one will say: "No! One flower doesn't make Spring yet!" Pessimists and melancholiacs want more proof to believe...

I think it's a wonder and absolutely a sign of eternal return and renewal of everything ... seen of course (I am also not free from any pessimism) in the context of our short personal human existence...

So?... Yes! It means Spring!
