Listening to the sound of water is usually refreshing and relaxing for most people. Many times we retreat to places like the beach, the ocean, or lakes for relaxation and enjoyment.  The sound of water is also used in specific mechanisms we listen too for sleep or meditation and prayer.  Why is it we look for those options to help us relax?  I love listening to the rain fall.  It is always amazing how different the sound of rain can be as it falls on the many different objects, such as a metal roof or a tin can.  There is a sound for each of us that brings enjoyment in some way.  It could be the sound of a baby as they laugh with excitement or the sound of a bell ringing in the distance.  It could be the sound of music or the sound of soft breathing from a child.  Whatever your joyful sound, use it to your advantage. Find joy and peace as you relax and enjoy the sound made just for you.

Sound is the vocabulary of nature. _ Pierre Schaeffer
