Gentle tropical rainstorm

 Peace, love, happiness, tranquility, escapism, nature, natural, anesthetic, dreamy, warm, cool, comfortable, calming, alone, at peace, as one, timeless, eternal, rhythmic, rolling, embracing, reassuring, encompassing, submerged, letting go, releasing, drifting, floating,.

I just thought I’d list as many words as I could think of without a dictionary or thesaurus to describe how this and these nature soundscapes can effect and transport you. The experience is without words, beyond words and for the sake of experience they should not be described.They are a portal of escape from TV entertainment and yet they are here on TV. I like to sit on our deck and listen to the stream outback or to the rain when it falls but those are on occasion where this is on demand. I am so, thrilled that the producers of these films saw, appreciated and captured the value of these nature experiences for us to lull in and enjoy. For me this deserves an academy award wherein the only actor is nature set to the soundtrack of creation produced and directed by God.

Don’t stop believing

 


There are times when I think it’s a lot of hype…

When they say Oh you’re an inspiration to so many people
Or
When someone says, if I can help one person by my story
But
This kid Codi kind of makes me a believer 
How many hours did he practice, work and struggle to get to this point? Maybe many, maybe none at all.
Perhaps it truly is a gift.
Maybe God does work in mysterious ways but
Somehow when I saw his lips quiver as he searched for and found the opening words to the song
It brought tears of joy to my eyes.
Yes, he is an inspiration and a tribute to Steve Perry who said
Don’t Stop Believing 🙏
