Nature music
I like to listen to the sounds of nature every now and then because she has so much to tell. Especially when the weather is impetuous.
The hail clatters on my skylight, the rain dances on the roof tiles, the wind storms across the land. A light show illuminates the fields while the thunder makes the fillings rattle in my molars.
I can enjoy that so much!
The poem below is by Edveeje Fairchild. In this she perfectly describes how musical the earth is.
Why do humans think
Earth is silent
Beneath all that stone and dirt?
Why don't they hear her
as clearly as I do?
The whispers of moonlight,
the summons of sun,
the longing of river
And the shout of thunder.
Earth is not silent.
She speaks in every turning of her axis,
every tilting or her hips,
and in the secrets she shares
with the seasons
and in every tectonic shift.
Earth is not silent.
She speaks through weather
and breathes through forests
and she loves through her trees.
She dances in her oceans
and she rests in her deserts.
Why do humans think
She's so silent
when she has so much to say?
If only we could learn
to truly listen.
~Edveeje Fairchild~
It's still quiet outside now, but I'm hoping for a spectacular thunderstorm. I'm dreaming of that already. Sleep well!
