More about the book
The book explores the profound connection between nature and the human experience of sound, particularly bird-songs. It suggests that truly hearing these melodies requires a sensitivity and appreciation that many lack, often due to distractions or a lack of familiarity. The narrative illustrates how bird-songs, perceived as mere background noise, can transform into beautiful expressions when approached with an open heart and mind. The author reflects on personal experiences with others, highlighting the contrast between expectation and genuine appreciation in the natural world.
