Gratefulness
for Sounds
Add your favorite sound, and listen with the ears of your heart to what others say about sounds that make them grateful.

Bird song outside my window. I can hear them all through the house. The songs are of joy, of communication, of caring for the young ones. Many species. Even the predators, wheeling in the sky above. All have a song. All have worth.

I love the sound of crickets chirping - the crunching sound of walking on snow in really cold weather - of the woodpecker pecking, loved the sounds of the foghorns and of course all the beautiful birds singing.

I love the singing of the blackbird most of all. My heart overflows in love and longing for spring to unfold within my heart. I love the crisp sound of feet on snow when it is VERY cold. And the sounds of dry heaps of leaves when I walk through them. The sounds of laughter and happiness at the beach in the summer. Churchbells ringing in Christmas... the memory of my class humming their own melodies, making art.

I love to cup my hands over my ears and then breathe as lengthily and as deeply and slowly as I possibly can. It is the sound of waves gently and peacefully lapping the shore, a universal, timeless, powerful yet soothing sound, so ancient, so primordial, so...om.

I love the sound of my favorite disc jockey joking on the radio. He has such a way of putting people in a good mood. I look forward to hearing him..a little pleasure every day.

I love hearing the voice of an adult child on the phone, my chickadees outside at the feeder, the roar of the ocean, the music of Joshua Bell, the welcome greeting of my dogs....

I love the sound of music while running. I love the sound of my daughter's laughter and the way she says "Mommy." I love the way my bf says "Baby, Baby, Baby." I love the sound of church bells. I love the sounds of the meetings, listening.

I love the sound of silence after driving out of the city in the desert in the evening. I love the whispy sound of the pine trees in the mountains at the break of dawn.

I love the sound of wind chimes - also the sound of distance traffic cars/motorcycles on a highway. Also the sound of hearty laughter that just goes on and on -
