Itโs true that we humans tend not to see the forest ๐
for the trees๐
To an even greater extent when weโre outdoors, though, we fail to hear the forest for the seeing๐ณ
We let our eyes be our guides when sounds of nature
Not sights
Often provide more information about the life around us
Most of it hidden or too distant to see๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The rush of shifting wind through treetopsโฆ
The gurgle of stream water tumbling over stone๐โโ๏ธ
The hmmmm and bzzzzz of insectsโฆ
The piercing call of a faraway bird๐ฆ
These are only a few of the sounds of nature
Some are constant; others fleeting๐คทโโ๏ธ
But all are components in a symphony that is not merely unfinished but perpetual โฆ๏ธ
Playing night and day ๐
It is a work ever-in-progress worth listening to carefully
Nature sounds not only soothe our civilized souls๐
But also tell tales of their makersโ lives โก
So when you need to energize listen to nature and the beat of your heart it’s constant๐
