Oh hey, it’s my 100th post!
And for this hundredth post, I’m just not sure what all I should tumble about.
I love beautiful days, where the weather just surprises you and it’s amazing and everything in the world seems to be going so perfect. Monday happened to be one of those days. I hated it because it was a day I spent inside classes, I have 10am-7pm classes with limited break time. As I left my final class (physics no less… blegh!) my headphones were acting all funny so I decided to not listen to my iPod. Good thing I didn’t. Although it was getting dark, it was wonderful to have a nice cool breeze on my face and to hear the music that nature provided. The choir of crickets, that are just somehow always in tune in their upper voice, the wind providing the low rumbles to back up them up, the rustling of the trees- a cacophony of percussion- and yet, they all mesh together to become what is possibly the best natural music ever. Throw in the sound of kids playing outside to make a beautiful fugue of it. I love it. All of it going back and forth in what, at first seems to be such discord, but in the end, comes together to inexplicably be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. It’s amazing to me how sometimes, when what you think all you want is silence, you really only need your silence and the opportunity to sit out and realize how beautiful days and nights can truly be. I only wish I had the time and energy to walk to a beautiful, semi-secluded area to gaze up at the stars, that only in their beauty can accompany the wondrous music I could only hear in my own silence. It helps me think about how, sometimes, it’s what we need in our life. To be silent. To let others speak. To hear what the world is telling you. It was an amazing day that made me think about many things. Memories of people, places, events and emotions that just made me feel all over good. I can’t wait until these days become a more common occurrence. I love feeling this way.
