Describe the sounds of nature heard

in your area

The best time to hear the sounds of nature is late in the

night when most human activities have stopped and

nature is intimately present

I have, on many occasions, stepped outside my house late

at night The very first thing that strikes me is the immense

stillness of nature Stillness is not silence Rather it is a

beauty that makes the environment seem so peaceful and

perfect Within the stillness many sounds can be heard,

but the stillness is not disturbed

The shrill cries of the cicadas are very evident These

sharp high-pitched sounds pierce through the night, but as

I said earlier, they do not disturb the peace In fact they

are part of the peace

On a distant tree, a night-jar makes its “tok, tok” sound

Somewhere else the bark of a dog can be heard Over by

the stream, frogs sing out a croaking symphony A breeze

springs up and whistles through the stately coconut palms

The leaves of the huge angsana trees rustle in unison All

is peaceful, in perfect balance with one another I take in

the wonder of nature Even the buzzing of mosquitoes

around my head seems part of it all

Suddenly a youth on a motorcycle whizzes by, shattering

the stillness My senses are jolted for a moment This

unnatural sound is certainly out of balance with nature But

as the sound of the motorcycle recedes into the distance,

stillness reigns again Everything regains the balance

I return my house Something inside me has been touched

by the beauty of nature I feel good I go to sleep with the

beautiful feeling

In the daytime it is not so easy to hear the sounds of

nature, but they can be heard if I am observant Early in

the morning just after the sun rises, the birds start to sing

Magpie-robins, mynahs, spotted doves, sparrows and

bulbubs all sing out their songs It is a bit strange but the

other members of my family do not seem to hear them

Perhaps their ears have been conditioned to hear only

man-made sounds; the unobtrusive sounds of nature

cannot be heard any more But I do hear them The

sounds of nature are sweet and gentle, quite the opposite

of man-made sounds

To hear the sounds of nature in the midst of man-made

sounds, all I have to do is to listen without trying

Man-made sounds force their presence onto our ears The

sounds of nature do not force, so we have to be attentive

They can be heard The clicking of a gecko lizard, the

patter of rain on the roof, the roar of thunder, the howl of

the wind, the rustling of leaves – all are as alive as the

ears that can hear them I have ears that can hear the

sweet sounds of nature and I am glad for it
