Coquis are tiny
The Coquis were nerve-wracking when they first appeared in my yard. But like Henry Higgins who has become accustomed to Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, I have learned to live with the Coquis and even appreciate them. I've found them talking to me constantly. Their nightly symphony are constant reminders to...
sing
let it all go
tell it to the universe
jump
laugh
hear the harmony in cacophony
recognize that what you have is what you see in others
find peace!

"Jungle Sounds" CD from the Nature Store...15.95. Sound system to play it on...699.00. How much that experience costs in Hawaii...0.00. Priceless!! The coquis help drown out the voices in my head.
ReplyDelete"Hear the harmony in cacophony" - wonderful, Ariel!
Great "reminders" - It did take me a little while to start enjoying them - same is true of the hundreds of Mynah birds that nest in the huge Banyan tree across the parking lot here in Hilo. Their chatter is so interesting every evening when they return and every morning when they awake, I ponder what they are talking about - I don't need an alarm clock - I can count on them between 5:30 and 6:00AM every day.

I have heard of the coqui frogs, a friend of mine made us laugh with her frustration for the noise they make... we never understood it... But in reality when you think about it, all these creatures represent peace on our planet, each one offering its unique self and gift.
