Lend Your Ears!!

The sense of hearing is one of the most powerful senses that have been bestowed upon us by the Almighty. Few months ago, I deciphered the immense happiness my ears could provide me and these sources of joy are worth sharing.

Every day, in fact every passing second we come across infinite different sounds. How often do we care to listen to them all? I guess, never. Let’s give them a chance and you will find that music is all around us.

Hear your heartbeat or the whistling of winds,

The grinding and crushing in the rusty mills,

The chirping of birds or the humming of bees,

Swaying of trees and the rustling of leaves.

Horns of vehicles or the lovely wind chimes,

Ticking of the clock as it shows the time,

Thunders in the sky or flipping of the cane,

Sound of rain as it strikes the window pane,

Discover the music in a fast moving train,

Or the laughter of the kids playing in a lane.

Crashing of the waves on the seashore,

Banging of utensils in a far away store,

The ringing of bells or a knock on door,

Sound from the mines extracting the ore.

Hear the tapping of boots from a footstep,

Oh! The echo of a slap or cheer in a clap.

The sound of alarms or the buzz of buzzers,

Hear the flowing water in the raging rivers.

The ringing of bells or clinking of glasses,

Murmurs of students taking their classes,

Shattering of a glass or screeches of brakes,

Hear the wheels of rushing roller skates.

Fluttering of wings of the tiny butterfly,

Hear the fireworks as they splash in the sky.

Falling of a water drop in the empty vessel,

Or the boiling of water in a metal kettle.

Listen to the sound of a crackling fire,

Hear the electricity dashing through a wire.

More such sounds always fill the atmosphere,

So open your senses and lend your ear.

These are just few sounds that surrounds us. Start noticing these sounds and believe me you will discover a composer within yourself. And more importantly you will discover immeasurable inner joy and peace. A connection to your inner self, to what you truly are. So seize a moment, close the eyes and then, all that you have to do is LISTEN!!!
