Sounds of Nature

 This morning I woke to silenceimmediately losing myselfin the vastness of body and spirit.I am reminded of the reasonI love this place.Within secondsI heard the echoing of a roosterthrough the mountains.I heard my body breathing,the rain drizzling gently against my window,the birds chirping their morning welcoming,and the water flowing through the creeksemptying into the vastness of space.This is morning. This is magic.I have become so accustomedto the noises that I no longer hear them.They are a background nature-filled symphonyand I don’t want to ignore them.I am becoming a silhouette in the darkness of a rainy daypraying that I never forget this beauty.I am content to be herejust as a musician hears notesplaying inside.Summer is everywhere,the heat clinging,and each waking momentbrings sensory stimulation.I cannot go back to the imbroglio of city life.This is the ebb of me.I rise and fall to the sounds of this mystical place,gracefully dancing to all the melodies,and the calling of my spiritconnecting to the Divine...I am...home.
