This morning I woke early to the sound of the dawn chorus.  I have wanted to record this symphony of sound (see audio) for as long as I can remember; it uplifts me and brings a smile to my face and reminds me of a presence far greater than myself.  It was wonderful to witness the song of a tiny wren who has survived the bitter winter and is now able to celebrate the resurrection of Spring with an extraordinarily powerful song for something so small.  Each bird is not alone, but a soloist in natures greatest choir.

Waking up to Nature has awoken my inner nature.  I notice and take in its many sounds and I feel blessed by and in awe of its everlasting presence.
