When I closed my eyes to feel that unforgettable moment, I could hear frogs and birds. At that moment, I felt like I was sitting in a forest. The frog sound was like a drum sound who was making different pitches of the music. During that moment, I could feel the race of the thoughts in my mind, that is how the frog and birds are making voices. Are they taking with each other? Are they able to understand each other talks? Those questions were encouraging me to see and hear the integrated world and also encouraging me to know the value of ‘Unity In Diversity?’ When I noticed different sounds and noises my body was slowing senses the vibration like (Oliveros, P 2015), music. This audio described different forms and meanings of the art and music.

When I was looking at the plants, I felt happy and relaxed. I noticed different shades of green colour on the leaves. Some are dark, light or some leaves are mixed. When I focusing on green colours of the leaves I have noticed lemon growing on the tree. It made me curious to think about the lemon that how these lemons stay and grow and connected with the tree. I was enjoying the fragrance of the lemon. It makes me feel peaceful. During that time, I was thinking about my childhood time that how I liked my house lemon tree’s smell and how I was hiding myself when I was playing ‘hide and seek game’ with my siblings. This connected to the readings of Wala is Life, Allara, it showed the strong connection to our land. It brought back to the childhood memories which reflected on the expression of sounds, smells, weather and many more around us.

When I sat on the bench at a park, I closed my eyes and was trying to listen and feel the exquisite world. During that time, I heard lots of slow voices like bell, people’s noise, birds’ voice and suddenly I heard a loud voice of music. After hearing that music I did not open my eyes. I was trying to listen to people’s voices even with that loud car’s music. I have noticed that with good focus I could hear only people’s noises. During that time, they were taking and laughing with each other. This connected with the reading of R. Murray Schafer as he said, ‘Sound is like a painting with visuals, whatever we can hear or listen the picture can come in our mind’. This is up to us which sound we like to hear or not.

Dancing LakeSanctuary lake is near to my house. Therefore, for a deeper understanding of meaningful resources of this world, I went to that area. I focused on deep thinking that what was happening to that area. There was a group of four people who were taking with each other and some were walking around the lake. I saw some cars, bikes and houses nearby that area. But, when I saw that lake I stopped for a few seconds, it automatically attracted towards me. It seems like that the waves, sounds and shadow of the sky were telling me they want to talk to me. They want to ask from me that ‘how I am feeling?’ It seems like the waves were telling me that my every emotion is temporary, like waves. Every feeling has its own time and way to express it. It can come and go at a certain level. It has our choice how we want to express, do we like to express through dance, song or through peaceful voice? This connected to readings of ‘Dadirri’ as it mentioned that ‘there is no need to reflect too much and to do a lit of thinking. It is just being aware’’ (Mirriam, 2002).
