What They're Saying
"I hear the soft sound of birds in the distance, but I can not tell what bird it is. I can hear more than one. I hear the gentle wind quietly rushing past the bushes where I sit. I can slightly hear the sounds of a little cricket jumping around in the distance. I smell the fresh scent of the trees around me, I hear the sound of a hawk rising through the air. If you listen ever so carefully you can hear the bugs busily rushing to their home. All these sounds put together and you get the sound of the spirit of the forest."
