Well I read these insights in science and medical articles, so probably pretty straight forward stuff.

(In Chinese medicine green is the color that helps the liver.) It would be nice to think that nature is designed to accommodate us like that, that we are the equivalent of the center of nature's universe. In that way, hopefully without being too egocentric, we can continue to view nature as generous, gentle and nourishing. On Monday, October 20, 2014 8:54 AM, "awoelflebater@...

But the sunlight is so sublime, almost a living thing. Its silence is definitely a beautiful song. Sunlight at this time of year is less direct and has a yellower and oranger hue to it. Autumn sunlight has more color than summer sunlight. I notice it too. There is more than just leaf color and air temperature that distinguishes one time of the year from another.

Silence becomes so dominating and thick one can almost touch and certainly see it as small balls of light joyfully floating around. It's tempting to spend longer periods of time in such a manner, perhaps in the Mountains. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : One thing I have noticed in my new neck of the woods, is the silence. No more hum and growl of traffic, the vibration of the freeways. I have several musical instruments, and a lot of music, but the silence is so seductive, I find myself keeping the house as quiet inside, as the outside. Most of the time it is thickly and peacefully silent, here. I had ideas before being here, that now that I have the space, and distance from neighbors, I could listen to songs at concert volume, but I have yet to do so. Far more soothing to hear the quiet.
