"It was on these walks that "something" started shifting inside...  Something from Nature reached out, grabbed hold of me, entered my being...  I began hearing birds, tuning into their songs.  They sang to me as I walked along the trails.  I began hearing the colour of the leaves, tasting the smell of the air, feeling the changing of the seasons.

My senses came alive in new and different ways."
