The Cicada are Singing
July 17, 2009 by Kimberly
I love the time of year, in the summer in North America, where the cicada sing!
What? That’s what I said!!!
Most people think those cicadan noises are annoying, irritating and they complain and fuss…
…but I think it’s beautiful! It means summer is here – and to me, that’s so much better than winter being from Canada!!!
Honesty, I think the more we appreciate the world around us, the happier and more at peace we are…
Who knows…Maybe you’ll be able to easily fall asleep when you admire their song at night, instead of getting all uptight!
Next time, just imagine you’re in the middle of the Amazon Forest listening to the nightlife while you’re dozing off to sleep.
Yes, they’re bugs, but they are marvels in their own right…
