The world truly a wonderful place if we can just take the time to observe the things around you. Talking is all well and good, I do it fairly often and I enjoy it. That maybe so, but its hard to see things for what they are when your mouth is moving.

If you just take time to notice, you will find the world truly wondrous and you begin to see it completely differently. As Hannah recently likes to say, “they sky today very bright, it will rain tomorrow” which is true most of the time. The air also has a different smell just before it rains, the wind blows through your window and brushes lightly against your exposed skin, bringing with it a sometimes an unwelcome chill, sometimes a much needed cooling breeze. The wind is cool and moist, and more often then not, it seems to relax you. When it starts to rain, it almost never starts with a downpour, it works its way from a few drops, to a light drizzle and finally to a downpour. It is most beautiful after it rain, its so serene and calming so quiet, you hear the bird chirping, the leaves rustling in the wind and you feel the moisture in the air.

Part of the reason I like to listen to music is because I am intrigued by the way all the different sounds come together to make a piece of music. Though many don’t realize it, there are always the subtle notes played in the background that many don’t hear, they think these notes don’t matter, but it does, it matters a great deal. Without all these notes, the song sounds empty and incomplete. Music is also a very effective way to sooth the mind, and relaxes our body. It allows you to be free from the distractions around you and gives you time to do some serious thinking. The music fades into the background, as your mind wonders during those long bus rides, till it seems more like a measured beat that your thoughts can follow. It is trough these times that we truly are able to understand ourselves and better understand our situations and problems.
