Lie down on the grass for five minutes.
Close your eyes.
Listen.
distant cars
unknown flying beasties humming
children playing, bickering, laughing
breeze blowing the leaves of the huge oak
an aeroplane off to foreign lands
invisible grasshoppers chirruping
a cuckoo
the deep drone of a bumble bee
a pigeon cooing
a fly buzzing right by my ear
small birds high in the branches twittering to each other
small birds high in the branches twittering to each other
twigs being snapped by faraway feet
pheasants chooking
What will you hear in your five minutes?
I think I shall try that sometime this week - I guess lots the same as you :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea, I shall find a spare five minutes sometime this week! :) x
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, I'm going to try this, although I can imagine a small dog trying to get in on the act :) x x x x x x
ReplyDeletejust reading those words and picturing some of the things you mention was relaxing and calming in itself. Any more restful words gratefully received thank you!!

sounds lovely. xxx
ReplyDeleteI do this when I've hung the washing and take a moment to lie on the trampoline and look at the sky. But not when it's freezing (like now) or pouring (like now). Just realised I really miss summer...
ReplyDeleteLove this! I sometimes make little lists when I'm in the forest. I might have to steal your idea! It does transport you somewhere else reading this post. x
