listening

i've noticed lately how beautiful is the voice of nature. wow.

the first few days we spent here in Colorado i couldn't believe how quiet everything was. It was amazing to sit outside and not hear a train, plane, or busy road always droning somewhere among the open air. so "quiet".

and just these last few days i've found myself listening to the great noise that nature is. instead of silence, i hear the birds, the bees, water dripping from the leaves, or wind rushing through the trees. just this morning i sat outside for about 20 minutes and listened to a thunderstorm blow through Littleton. i watched the trees being swooned in the wind and reveled in the booming thunder in the distance.

oh, isn't it so beautiful - the voice of nature?
