I'm flipping the 'turn on' switch.

I’m listening to the birds today. Actively and consciously listening. The birds are here every day. But I don’t always hear them. Because I’m not listening. And that’s too bad. Because they make sweet sounds. Sweet music. So much goes on around me. And I’m not aware of it all. Because I’m not listening. Or seeing. Or feeling. I have to be turned on. But for one reason or another, I’m too often turned off. That’s sad. Unacceptable. But today I’m trying to do something about it. By flipping the ‘turn on’ switch. –Jim Broede
