I like to think that we are all surrounded by elegant music. Natural Beautiful Elegant Transcendent That our conscience cannot hear, Yet infiltrates our beings anyhow. You see, I refuse to accept that animals live without each others’ songs. Their cries are too pretty. Like, dogs’ hearing is astronomical compared to ours. I think thereContinue reading “Shades of Sound”
