“The Beauty of Nature’s Symphony: The Joyful Sounds of Birds, Rivers, and Forests”
In response to Dancing Elephants Press writing prompt 26 of 52
What could be more inspiring than to write about the symphony of nature. Yet another delightful writing prompt.
I take great pleasure sitting outside on the little seat of our cottage with a pot of tea, and some gentle music in the background, armed with pen and paper, the last rays of the days sunshine beam upon me. My dog, Bobby thinks it is time to play; he nudges and licks my hand as I attempt to meditate. Dogs huh?
It struck me as I was sitting there observing the surrounding nature that the crows above me appeared to be holding a meeting.
I observed as they gathered in a tree just to my left, engaging in a very loud discussion. The meeting was finalised after several minutes, most departed with only a few remaining. I watched as they performed this ritual on several of the surrounding trees.
It felt like the crows had a genuine community, flying from tree to tree to check in on their neighbors.
Do you ever look closely at nature? It is with amazement to bring to light the multiple universes within universes right beneath our feet. I wonder, “Who is peering at us from above?”
I will drive to the forest most days, and on a beaming sunny day, the sense of freedom and wonder is a divine gift. The scent of pine smells heavenly, and the gentle whoosh of the trees and variety of birdsong is a symphony of sounds to uplift and refresh the soul.
My dog and I love exploring different trails; some days, we venture up and sometimes we stay in the heavily wooded areas. There is always a new insight to discover.
I love to collect little things like pretty stones or pine cones with perfect symmetry. These are little take-home gifts, with permission from the forest.
In September of the last year 2022, I was fortunate to be able to visit the Italian Dolomites. One of my most memorable moments was the crystal clear spring water running off the mountains.
We hired bicycles to ride the uphill train, which I found tremendously challenging; descending was so rocky it equally demanded of me. I felt hot and in need of some calm refreshment.
On the descent, the sight of turquoise crystal clear waters gushing down the river was so pure and unpolluted. I could not resist stopping to drink and dip my legs into the chilling ice-cold water. The experience cleansed and revitalized.
There is power in water which is what we are; when we flow in one accord, we create a symphony that has the potential to change the world for a very positively charged future. Lisa Precious
