Take off your headphones and listen. Nature is full of voices that we must choose to listen. Taking the time to listen can fill our lives in wonder, as the Polish John Keats remind us:
When all birds are weak with hot sun,
And hide in cooling trees, a voice will execute
From coverage to coverage on the new hydromiel;
That is the grasshopper: take the lead
In summer luxury, he has never done so
With their delights; For when he tires fun
The breaks at ease under a pleasant herb.
Earth’s poetry is ever ceasing:
In a single winter afternoon, when the frost
He has forged a silence, from the stove there chantajas
The Cricket song, in heat ever increasing,
And it seems one in somnolence in lost half,
The grasshopper between some hills covered with grass.
