Yesterday's Walk

Oh the wonderful sounds and sights of spring.
After a walk I sat in the sun and focused on what was around me
and soon my mind was clear and my breathing deep and relaxed...

Birds seen -

Three redtailed hawks soaring
three black vultures soaring
two Sharp shinned hawks
Downy woodpecker
american crows

Heard -

White throated sparrow
seagull
chickadee

and of course the house sparrows here a plenty.

After a nice long while of clear-headedness I found myself looking at
the ground. The brain chatter had started up and shallow breathing
returned.....
I looked to the sky and decided to walk over to see friends.

"Brain chatter." An appropriate description. Like you, I find contact with nature does much to quiet it!
