Stare Into Nature

Listen quietly to the dripping water. Hear it slow down drip by drip. When it stops it means that the ground is in settled order. An overflow of water does not exist. Now listen to the trees and the wind passing through them. Hear their sounds like a choir of varied tones. Concentrate to hear the birds all around us singing their songs of rejoice and delineating warning zones. Now, come back here this time next year. You’ll hear the water drip and the sounds of the trees. But, the chorus of the bird song will be fainter just like the flowers that miss the bees. Year on year we stare into nature. Year on year we promise what we will not give. Soon the bird song will be sounded into history and life will be colder and duller to live.
