Do You Listen?

by Dr.Mani on February 7, 2010

RE-TWEET IT!

Do you listen to Nature? Often?

When was the last time you paused to listen as a bird tweeted, or to the soft ripple of a brook, or the rustle of the evening breeze through leaves, or just the whoosh of a sudden gust of wind?

If it was too long ago, think about this -

You’re not ‘living’… you’re just waiting to die!

Stop. Hit pause. Listen.

And enjoy what you hear.

It’s priceless… yet free!

Footnote:

What brought this on?

I woke up early this morning to check on progress of the 60th patient we operated through the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation, a puny 3 year old who weighs just 7 kilograms. (She’s doing well!)

As I sat at my desk, reading email and browsing forums, I heard our daily visitor, a little friend who drops by every morning to greet us, go “Tu-wheet, tu-wheet” in the lemon tree in our backyard.

Dropping everything, I rushed to the window, and spent a few minutes enjoying her little song and watching the little busybody flit from one branch to the other.

And in those quiet moments, I felt fully alive!

Wouldn’t you? Try it.
