Just a Thought

Have you ever just stopped and listened to the world around? Sitting in your room you hear the faint roar of an engine driving down the street, the noise of a plane flying over your head, the howling of wolves in the distance. We can hear these things without having to concentrate, but if you choose to open your ears and listen a little harder you might be able to hear the sound of waves crashing against boulders, the chinking of mugs in a far away pub, the chirping of birds amongst a rainforest, the sound of a fish swimming faster to catch its’ prey, the tortured screams of a woman being raped, the cries of a starving child, the loudness of your own thoughts, and the pounding heart of a new born brought into this twisted world that we call our own.
