The Song of Life

Environmental psychologist Eleanor Ratcliffe says that listening to birdsong can lower stress and have positive impacts on mental health. “Birdsong is often a sign that there are no predators around. It's a sign of safety. And way back in our primordial brain, we may recognize it as such, and relax a little.”
“Once a Zen master stood up before his students to deliver a sermon. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a bird sang. The master hesitated, then said, ‘The sermon has been delivered.’" – Joseph Campbell
Affirmative prayer: "Infinite Presence, I listen to the song of life, of my heart, resonating with the peace, beauty, and harmony that restores my soul. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
