Life does take us to the most unexpected places David. Thanks for sharing your sounds and the walks in nature. The sounds of nature pull me back to a sense that I'm on the planet, maybe not where I grew up, but on this planet, and still a part of the natural world (even when there is trash to pick up too). I'm looking forward to getting to know your work better. Thanks for writing and podcasting.
Life is one big puzzle and as we go we find and place the pieces to start creating the full picture. However, we never truly see the finished product, because of the many changes and experiences that alter the puzzle. We are told that time is an illusion, that events are all occurring simultaneously. This is quite difficult to wrap our heads around. However, the experience in Afghanistan is an example of this. You were viewing another piece of the puzzle in "advance", a connection that was being created in that moment. As we grow in years we start to see such things and begin connecting the dots.
I remember as a six year old riding the school bus in a rural farming community, I sat at the window and envisioned many places around the globe and knew that I would explore way beyond the confines of the farming community that I was a part of at that time. Fast forward years later and I see how it all fit together and at the age of six I was viewing the "future" in the present. I can think of a number of examples and when we are quiet and present these things come to the forefront of our consciousness.
Enjoy the beautiful transformation of Spring. Our senses are a gift to experience the magic of physicality.

Fire fighters from Banja Luka in Afghanistan? You really have to tell this story in detail.
