Journaling Under The Yellow Tree House
The sky is still gray, however a side of it is turning into a bizarre kind of pink with orange. Nature is waking up, if it ever sleeps. The birds are singing to the sun, it’s a mesmerizing choreography of different sounds and tones. They are accompanied with the sound of water flowing, I can think of fishes swimming around. The sunrise is getting pinker, letting a piece of sky-blue appearing in the picture. Birds are flying all around, some alone and some in couples. They’re heading east, I wonder why? Is it because of the sun? It’s overwhelming the size of the volcanoes; they seem so alive. What’s happening inside of them? I can feel the wind hugging my body, it’s not cold it’s even kind of cozy. I feel part of the picture; I smell freshness, feel the wet grass and hear beautiful singings, it’s so harmonious! I wonder if sunrises are like this every day? I mean the same birds singing every day at the same hour. The sun is lightening the clouds…wait! The volcano just sounded, it was like an inside explosion. Could it have some kind of life inside it? Is someone inside it waking up? Coming back to the sky, a greater part of it is turning sky-blue. The clouds seem so soft; they look as if someone had painted them with a brush. It’s curious that I hear less birds singing now, I guess a different “band” just woke up and they’re introducing me to their show. I hear some whistles. Nature is like an organized community of living things that make this wonderful miracles, it’s so sad that we ignore it sometimes. I perceive this complexity, these many little groups of species that have a task to perform during the day. I guess some birds emigrate somewhere and then come back…I see some ants “waking up”, I guess they are walking to recollect some food. Hmmm… it’s interesting that all of them wake up to find food…to survive another day. It reminds me of Walden, when he says that every animal needs food and shelter in order to survive for longer time; which is quite obvious but one never stops to think about it. I can see the trees, flowers and plants being moved by the wind…they are waking up too, and they’re ready to start this dancing with everybody else. I can see that the whole sky is cleared up, with a little amount of clouds. It looks so peaceful. There’s more life here than we are aware of. Human beings are one species of the billions that we have all around the world. The grass hasn’t life in it yet because it’s wet, but maybe there are some insects around…I don’t see any. Wow! I just saw ten organized birds flying above my head, singing. The light is increasing; the gardens are being lightened up. Everything seems more orange. A bird is flying towards the direction of the volcano, all by himself. Where is everyone going? I’m totally sure that everyone’s moving. Everything is more quite now…I can really appreciate the sound of the water. A couple of birds are singing. The grass is starting to dry…the wind feels softer. I sense tranquility, as if many things have settled down after the wonderful concerto. I smell something; the aroma is like wet wood, kind of sweet. The air is so pure, I feel it traveling through my lungs, and a powerful energy owns me. It’s waking me up by activating all my senses. Bees are starting to approach The Yellow Tree House. I can now experience life on the air by observing this level working right above me. The sun is rising very fast and it owns the east side! The volcano is hiding now through fog, its part of the concert has ended for now. The flowers of The Yellow Tree House are falling off, it looks like they’re dancing in the air and finally reaching the grass, in where more company is. The orange sun is rising up through the back of the tree; it’s perfectly round and bright. I feel some light ways on my body, on the grass, everywhere, it moves so fast. I’ve never had observed the sun as directly as today. It’s warming me up. Maybe when the birds were singing they were welcoming the sun. Almost everyone is quiet now, as if they were contemplating the sun just like me, in awe, in reverence. I feel the rays directly on my face. I love it! Contemplating this moment reminds me of the miracle of life. It’s overwhelming. I feel that I can rest now, with nature, lying down, just being. Being at peace with myself and with others, with life.
