Spring Upon Us

You take shelter under the covered dock at the lake as a thunderstorm moves in. Listen to the sound of the rain hitting the lake and dripping from the roof.

Listen to the surrounding sounds as you sit under the roof of an old covered boat dock after a rainstorm. You hear the birds flying around, water dripping into the lake, crickets serenading, and the occasional vehicle that drives by in the distance.

Enjoy the sounds of nature as you sit by a lake as a small rainstorm moves through.

One of the many sounds that fill the air as Spring begins to arrive. Frogs begin to sing and flowers begin to bloom.

Sitting at the edge of the woods will bring a variety of sounds. A variety of birds will call and sing to each other. The occasional sound of a dog barking or a vehicle traveling down a nearby road can be heard in the background of nature’s sounds.

Listen to the sounds of a fire, crackling in the woods. An element that can be so destructive, but when in control, it has its benefits. Even the sounds of the flame can soothe the fires in ones soul. Listen and enjoy. **What you are hearing are the sounds of a prescription fire in the woods. A slow moving fire designed to improve the health of the forest while maintaining control of its intensity to avoid severe damage to the forest.

The sun is higher in the sky. You find a large tree fallen on the ground. What a wonderful place to sit and rest! The birds are active today and singing all around you. The pine trees sway with the gentle flowing breeze that sweeps through the pine needles, making a gentle, soothing sound. You are surrounded by the forest and deep within nature.

An early morning hike in nature is what you desire this day. You’re out in the woods early in the morning watching the fog roll through the trees. Drips of condensation fall from the branches and tap on the metal of your vehicle that is parked close by. The wind gently blows through the pine needles around you as a few early morning birds chirp as they send out the call of the days morning rising sun. The faint sound of traffic can still be heard is the far distance, but that doesn’t bother you. You’re surrounded by trees, grass, flowers, and all sorts of nature. No one else in sight. You continue on and do as you will.

Listen to the faster flow of the creek. Let it run through your soul and push the rocks and boulders of stress, hardship, and pain from the depths and bring in a fresh new beginning.

Listen and relax! Let the stresses of the day flow off your shoulders and carried away down stream. A simple recording of a flowing stream located around the Ouachita National Forest. These recordings are raw and unedited. They were simply recorded while sitting next to the stream as it flowed by. The flow of this stream was low when this was recorded and so you can hear a slower rhythm to the water. The recording was 2min long and so to give you an extended listening period, the recording plays twice within the episode.
