As I sit by the open door, reading a book, the sounds come up the hill like photographs!
Each sound I am hearing today brings a picture with it. The birds, many varieties, make a chorus, when I listen closely! Loud chirps, harking laughs, trills, cheeps, all the sounds of bird-dom, and it blends through the other sounds I hear!
The banging hammers of the men across the alley making a brick wall, their voices punctuating their hammer sounds.
A radio is playing somewhere, with music in another language, but it too seems to blend.
I hear the cars on the road at the bottom of the hill, heavy trucks changing gears, an airplane goes overhead.
A little child is talking to his mom at the gate, and dogs make a sporadic bark that picks up the tune!
The everday song of life as people go about their day.
So much better than yesterday, when the sounds were teargas cannisters bursting, guns being fired, and sirens wailing. Yesterday the sounds were bad and frightening, but today, all is calm, and life goes on!
Have a good sounding day, wontcha! pjmcneal
