Calmness

     Calmness--how peaceful it is. Today as I observed I took a different approach, instead of observing the wild life in my backyard I decided to just listen. As I listened I heard the sounds of birds chirping, I didn't bothering looking at them--just listened. I continue to listen and as I hear birds chirping, in the background I hear passing cars. It sounded like a busy morning because I heard one car after another no stop. My backyard isn't too far from a street so that's why I was able to hear them pass. There was a slight wind this morning so along with all the other noises once again in the background the sound of leaves clashing with each other were heard and they made a wonderful sound. What I got out of today while observing is when taking the time to just listen, just listen and nothing else; wonderful sounds will be heard.
