Music without sounds

Today was a gorgeous day, after a few days of feeling sick with an upset tummy I needed to go out.
So I took my dog, put on my boots, a tick trouser, coat and went to the forest for a long walk. I brought my little pocket camera with me because the big one I can't handle together with my dog and also because of the robberies these days it will be a target to be alone to the forest. During my walk I enjoyed the snow, the way the snow resting on the branches, all so pure white. I was walking with my chocolate brown dog; he looks so dark against the white snow. The open area I spend some time was so clean and fresh, so different than in real world, the hard society we all live in, with hate, violence, and robbery.

My heart filled with love, I felt so happy inside to see all the beauty around me, the simplest things I saw felt like a special gift to me. How many people don't realize how rich we are, to see all, to walk, to smell and feel, I am really blessed to have all those things. During my walk I was listening to music without any sounds, my heart really felt the warmth. Maybe you think, how can she listen to music without a sound? I will explain the music I was listening to was the silence around me, the beauty, and the joy that filled my heart. All these things created a song in my head, a song that only I can hear. Am I stupid now? Hmmm, I guess not.

I don't need an mp3 player, the only thing I need is a place I can feel free, to hear the music I can get for free, only to use my spirit. You know if you are willing to see those things I am talking about, then you understand exactly what I mean in this little story. My message is, enjoy every single day, use your eyes to hear the music I heard and touch the beauty around you with your soul. Take a deep breath and smell nature, and make tracks in fresh fallen snow, and if you turn your back, then you know that you are still on the right path to follow
