Just Listen

Just Listen

Do you ever take a moment to sit and listen to everything around you? The sounds of the street, the animals, the wind? Do you ever take a moment to sit and calm your mind? Quiet your thoughts and look at the world with your… inner self (so to speak)? 

If you do, you will be surprised to what you hear. The chattering birds, the air sound of semi trucks breaking in the distance. But I challenge you. Focus even more on the sounds. Drowned out the close ones. Tune in to the distant ones. Maybe you’ll find something new… something different? Like the sound of a creek gurgling nearby… or even of the squirrels in the trees. Nature has so much to say and no one really takes the chance to listen or tune in outside of the media or electronics.

As hypocritical as I am being (typing away to tell you this), when is the last time you were outside without something electronically to distract you? (Cell phone only counts if you were using it C= ) I like to believe that even animals can talk to us. May it be verbal or physical signs or mental communication I think it is possible, but in order to listen we have to clear our minds which is so hard with today’s technology!

If we just stop and look at all the things we can learn from the land… imagine… I don’t know just something C=

So, have you hugged a tree or talked to a rock today? (I know, this is a super random blog. It is what was on my mind)
