The earth was singing today.
As I’m sitting on a rock after my run, watching the dog snort his way through the tall grass at the park, I notice it. Bugs buzzing, birds singing, squirrels chirping high in trees. The trees even, green and beaming. The soil was swollen and sending smells up into the air. Everything was moving. Except for the humans. They were tucked into houses and cars and big buildings, sheltering themselves from the rain. So I heard the sound. The earth was singing.
