About this listen

In this luminous addition to the "Bite Sized Boreham" series, F.W. Boreham captures the fleeting joy of spotting The First Swallow of spring, weaving a tapestry of reflection on nature, human connection, and the divine. With his characteristic eloquence, Boreham draws from literature, history, and scripture to explore the swallow’s migratory instinct as a symbol of humanity’s shared longing and eternal hope. This concise, heart-stirring essay invites listeners to pause and ponder the timeless fellowship of life’s simple wonders. Perfect for a quiet moment, The First Swallow is a bite-sized treasure that resonates long after listening.
