Do you look at your children, fearing for their future and well-being? Do your eyes fill with tears, but you are not sure why? If so, I join you. We are experiencing societal burnout.

#OTD Ludwig Van Beethoven, #German #Composer & #Pianist, is #Baptized.
Beethoven loved #Nature. His 6th #Symphony is subtitled #Pastoral.
Each #Movement reflects a #Day in the #Country.
He #Wrote that he wanted the #Music to have an #Effect on the #Soul.
He once told a friend,
"[This is where] I composed the #Scene by the #Brook.
[#Pointing to the #Trees], The #Yellowhammers up there -
and the #Quails, #Nightingales & #Cuckoos - composed with me."
