One Place I'd Love to Be Each May 1st

Arvada, Colorado
May 1, 2025 6:26am CST
Because of some of my roots in Oxford, England, each May 1st that goes by, I sorely miss not being there for the very traditional and special, unique, historical May Morning celebrated like no other anywhere in the world! I miss the voices of the Hymnus Eucharisticus ringing out over the city. 16000 people turned out this year 2025. The singing and dancing is stupendous and the students in their lovely garb is beautiful to look at. I never knew what freedom I had back then and I miss my family that still live in Oxford still. Well, had you ever listened to the sounds and seen the sights of May Morning anywhere that you love? Do share with us! I wish ye all a Happy May Day too.

That would have been so, so special. I wish I'd appreciated more things in my youth.
