Thanks David. It's a very touching post. I think the nature including The Ocean Swoosh is trying to warn us something and we humans are unable to understand it.

Its about the depleting state of affairs, Climate Change & natural calamities.

Thanks so much Rajesh. There is definitely a warning to us in the sound, I agree.

Every so often I get a chance to hike alone in the alpine for several days. It is around the third day that something in my listening and connection with my surroundings change. I start to hear the subtleties of the forest, the river, the animals. A connection to the the world around me deepens. A connection that has fundamentally been there but was hidden by my attention on the machine.

Thank you for writing this

Thanks for reading Mark. This deep connection to the world around us that we feel when out in nature is exactly what I'm talking about here. I'll be writing much more about all this soon.

Such a poetic post, it was nice to read..I too live by the sea and have always been drawn to its magnitude and power. The ocean always puts into perspective how insignificant our one life is compared to the many that are, have been and will be. We are but a grain of sand, pebble on the beach...
