obvious, I suppose, but somehow we just live with them in the background, white noise since our birth and before, maybe we even ignore them at times, the sounds, the natural sounds of nature around us, a reminder, because at the end we are as helpless to the end of sound, I was walking my trash bin out to the curb, a romance I have to engage in a few times a week, which is a luxury compared to some parts of the world, and certainly paid for through my local taxes at 13K a year or more, things are relative and all, but I heard the sound of the rain on my car hood, such a unique sound, the pound of the drops like ball bearings on a tin roof, such a sound, you can close your eyes and your imagination conjures one thousand images to match the sound, I want to run my hand across the surface to feel the sound on my hand, I want to pause, and stand there, maybe I am, frozen in time as I try and absorb the experience, like a photograph still, a capture, or something as cool slo-mo like the matrix but of course I am not dressed as chic, but I think you get the exposition, so I walk inside, the rain quite drumming harder now, and so my lobes shift to suit the environment shift, the focus is now the sound on the windows, the pelting, quite different than the pounding on metal sound, more like a gentle or not so, tapping, a gentle rapping at my window to the world, as the drops merge and shape out like ovals until they are just miniature mock-ups of streams and rivers running down the glass, gathering more followers as summer storm intensity dictates, but the sound, the quiet barrage, rising and falling with intensity, waves on wind, so I suppose this theme, this sound, is echoed in the global tides, and in some ways us all, an innate beat to the planet herself, a rise and fall, sun to set, life to death, every day… this song… these sounds, the heart beat of the universe, the true pure-pious pied piper.

Notes… I have been experimenting with various things to listen to for relaxation/sleep. Once you get going there is so much out there… I find the Schuman Resonance fascinating as it is the literal sound of the earth, the heartbeat, well, at least that is what I read on the internet… so it must be true ! Something to think about… the sounds.. the music.. that is just inherit in the natural world…

WIKI on Schuman Resonance… listen to the earth, or at least try.
