I Hear Music

I hear music in:

*the cooing of the doves & the ticking of the clock

*the howling of the wind & the hush of snowfall

*the complexities of a foreign language
& the noise of unknown neighbors

*the barking of the dogs
& the comforting still of my flat

*the hurried rush of traffic & the rhythmical fall of footsteps

*the measured timing of traffic lights & the rush of water through pipes

*the rolling boil of the teapot
& the cocoon of a quilt

*the quiet contemplation of a good book & the solitary time spent with God

I hear music all around me. What do you hear?

I do it, too, Anna. I hear music in all the "noises" around me. We ARE kindred spirits in more ways than we realize, I think... Love you, Mom
