The sound of a Waterfall is soothing to the senses… So is the sound of the rain. Put them both together and you have the ultimate sound and a true place of Zen… Listen to this.
I always try to share a Waterfall on Monday morning, there is nothing better to get you centered and ready to face the week ahead.
Have a Great one!

The sound of falling water is powerful! Listening is a great way to relax… I took this short video from my favorite chair on my porch a couple of mornings ago. It may not be what your expecting, but the sound and feeling of this falling water is undeniable. Powerful. Relaxing. Soothing. All at the same time…
It’s Monday morning! I hope this little ‘moment of zen’ helps. Let’s get out there and have a great, productive week 🙏🏻

What a storm last night! the power went out around dark and shortly after a big storm hit ⛈ ⚡️ What a light show 😯 We were sleeping in a cabin with a tin roof… ie; We got some Good Sleep!

“Here in the deep tangled forest
All is quiet and still,
While far to the west the thunder,
Re-echoes from hill to hill.
And the lightning’s flash, ever vivid,
In great gashes knives the air;
The rain comes down in torrents,
A deluge everywhere!
Bathing the heat-sick flowers
That they may bloom once more;
Painting the grass a greener hue,
That grows by our cabin door;”
~ James W. Whilt
Enjoy this day ❤️

Well, I actually slept late this morning 😴 Late night movie marathon + Rain on a tin roof made it possible 😊 For the record, I actually woke up at my normal time! (with only a few hours of sleep…) But that rain coming down on the tin roof we were sleeping under, simply lulled me back to sleep 💤 Cut to brunch 🧇 🍳 Now we are going for an extended walk 🥾 So Im gonna post a few pics from the last couple days as my reflections…



Theres more weekend to enjoy, so Im off!
“Waking up to the sound of rain on a tin roof,
Music to my ears.
Darkness still lurks as I open my ears and hear this sound.
Music softly playing,
Describes this day.
The rain pours down softly,
The sky is all grey”
~ Jeri Martindale
Enjoy your Sunday!

I told my wife that a minute ago and grinned 😊 Mmmm Hmmmm… ”Lets hear it, whats a burble”? Well well I said, let me lay this on ya’ real quick…
Here’s the definition of Burble : Verb ;
“To burble is to move with a rippling flow, the way water bubbles down the side of a small garden waterfall. A stream burbles as it travels along its bed, bubbling over rocks and branches. The verb burble captures both the movement of the water and the sound it makes as it moves.”
~ definition from vocabulary.com

We were making the rounds last evening, right before dark. Feeding Koi and enjoying the Gardens, when the light sprinkles started ☔️ We finally got in the golf cart to ride up to the house and I stopped for one last look 👀 So I made a little video as the rain really got started… Check it out. Talk about relaxing and a feeling of Zen…
There is nothing like the sound of a Waterfall! Except maybe the sound and, smell of the rain. I believe the word for the smell of fresh rain on the garden soil is called ‘Petrichor’…
“Petrichor : the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Greek petra (πέτρα), “rock”, or petros (πέτρος), “stone”, and īchōr (ἰχώρ), the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology.”
Combine those two things and … 🧘 Zen
Enjoy your day! 🌞
