[Melody/Monday: Rain, Night Crickets]

Today I share the oldest songs of time: the beautiful great work of thunderclouds and night crickets. How I love music, but more often it's a relief to unplug. These sounds offer pure, simple escape. The world is a wild planet, living by its own rules. It existed long before computers, traffic, work, and stress - which serves as a blissful reminder that really, those things don't even matter. The world is ancient, everything pales in comparison; it could go on without us. Listen and be soothed by the wondrous hush. Lose yourself, slow down, exhale. Listen and be calm. Rather, just be.
