History hides in the set and tension of our muscles and how we swagger / stagger with our sad baggage as we walk, even strolling / shuffling down the green path in solitude, cheeped at by a sparrow, to review what's new and how all's coming along, the dandelion smiling, the opening buds... which have paused, judiciously -
the antiquity of it all, the great cycle, recycling
and yet, to the dendrites and their rearrangements for this very penning, that old-make - a long transmogrified mini-therapod - bit of fluff - swung on the spring prong of a curved and budded bough, it's now; it's now, now, now...
... and yes, we will accept that within the traditions and repetitions of blackbird leitmotifs this year's song is always unique.

The current thinking is birds evolved from therapod dinosaurs - hence that description of the sparrow. Dendrites are the little 'trees' of brain cells - it has just recently been discovered that these 'branches' signal ten times more than the central trunk (soma) and in both analogue (varying strength pulses) and digital (on / off ) fashion. A leitmotif is a recurring musical phrase - in Opera or more recently in film- which is associated with a character or an essential storyline thing - eg the ring theme in LOTR.
