In desperate need for some calming vibes I went for a long walk along the Columbia river on Sunday. Want to join me to listen to what nature had to offer, again? And again? And again?
A leaden, quiet sky. Brain starts calming.
Shshhhh, said the heron, or I’ll stick out my tongue.
Shshhhh, said the nutria, need to get going…
Shshhhh, said the frogs, we are preparing for a concert
Shshhhh, said the thistles, we are listening to the wind
Shshhhh, said the shrub jay, I’m trying to focus on the berries
Shshhhh said the Kestrel, you’ll scare away the bugs
Shshhhhh said the grasshopers, we’re trying to hide
Shshhhhh said the butterfly, you don’ talk with your mouth full
Buzzzzzz said the bumblebee. There went my brain again…….
And here is a musical nature walk:
