I am a bird lover. For me, there is nothing like waking up to the sound of birds. I will never forget my first experience with bird sounds. I never paid attention to them until about 15 years ago. I was very troubled. I was visiting with a friend who lived in a housing tract just outside a Country road. One morning I couldn't sleep so I got up early and went out for a walk to try to stop my mind from racing with these horrible thoughts. The Country road was only a couple of blocks away so I headed there. As I got away from the neighborhood and into the Country with lots of trees, meadows, an occasional old house, etc, I started hearing the sound of birds. All of the sudden my mind calmed. I listened to these many bird sounds. It was beautiful! I was at peace. I knew it was God talking to me. Calming me. After that, I went there every morning for the 2 weeks I was visiting my friend...alone. I wanted that same experience with the bird sounds. I fell in love with birds from that day on, and I peacefully enjoyed my visit with my friend.
