Sound of silence

I went looking for skunk cabbage in a small stream near my home. I didn't find any. I walked back to my house stopping for a moment to enjoy the sounds around me.

The wind whooshed through the trees. I could feel the cold. I noticed the empty playground. My kids used to play here when they were much younger. I waited for the sun to peek through the clouds to provide some shadow and contrast. I stood still for five minutes being present to everything that surrounded my senses.
