"By suggestion and example,
I believe children can be helped to hear the many voices about them. Take Time to listen and talk about the voices of the earth and what they mean—the majestic voice of thunder, the winds, the sound of surf or flowing streams."
~Rachel Carson
happy day!
Dear Marcia,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me more about this...about what you say about the voices and what they mean? love, Beth
They can hear nature, but only if they take out the ear plugs and shut off the i-pod. Too bad so many of today's children would rather hear the screams of the latest "music" instead the beautiful melody of the birds around them.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true.
ReplyDeleteLike listening to Mother Earth and the wise old fatherly voice of winter.
If only we take time to listen.
