It was a cloudy morning. It had been raining on the day before, and the forest was all humid and wet, slippery to the touch and the feet. As I gazed through the woods, I did not felt safe, and yet something whispered inside me, I was at home.
My guitar is made of wood, maybe cedar, maybe mahogany, I dont know. I was raised in the city. But as I looked at those old, nameless, giant trees around... a feeling of strange familiarity with them surprised me. As I, being able to play the guitar, somehow could play the trees as well.
It seemed preposterous to me (and, I must say, I'm inclined to visions of grandiosity myself). But as I got home, in the same day, by the afternoon, I received an email of a friend. He was writing about philosophy and poetry and found a quote by the great romantic poet, Novalis (1772-1801). He told me that it struck him as something I would like to know. As the quote follows:
All tones that nature brings forth
are raw and spiritless;
Often only to the musical soul does the sound of the forest—
the piping of the wind,
the song of the nightingale,
the plashing of the brooks
seem melodious
and meaningful.
The photo gives a really interesting feeling. The suit and the wood,+the face expressions is nailing it
great poem
Thank you, @arjung216! :)
Very good.
@marzullo this is heart touching.. it always feels great when we connect to nature.
hey @learnersglobe, I'm so glad you liked it! Life is amazing and it flows from Nature as clear as water from a fountain. I live close to the beach, but I wish I could go back more often to the woods! Theres such solitude there, its great to the soul.
completely agree with you @marzullo
Hi @marzullo really nature is original teacher of every creature, he teaches everything and every laws, your poem is very touching and meaningful, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback, @joinklkumre!
The scene at the jungle, wet grass, wet atmosphere, green all around and those giant trees which make you feel as if you are a bug in front of a giant!
You are so lucky to be there I want to be too :D
And yes the poem is sweet, subtly addresses the fact that nature is our mother after all!
love and respect the nature say no to polythene bags nature gives you everything in your hand without asking . save nature and it automatically save our next generation..

A lovely post. As a guitarist myself i am just visualising what it will look like strumming in such an environment. The sound of the guitar added with the natural sounds i.e the wind, the birds chirping, the leaves dropping, e.t.c it's natural, i could compare it to a meditation exercise that could actually make one get connected to nature and the whole world will become magical, i guess that's why your friend informed you about his discovery....tuning in to nature. Thanks for sharing this post.
such a great comment, @veekeeme4, makes me glad for sharing it. Your understanding mean a lot to me, and I want to hear you play your guitar. Do you have some musical material here on Steemit? Cheers, friend!
No but i could do that. You are welcome @marzullo. I will upload a video of me playing soon. Probably today. Thanks.
I'll follow you, but let me know anyways when you do it :)
Yes, really interesting..touchy
Fantastic work with this one, kudos
Thanks for your feedback, buddy!
Very inspiring words, nice poem
Very nicely written
Really lovely. It was the Novalis that drew me!
I love his writing! I'm glad you enjoy him too, I want to make more posts about him @parsifalangel :)
A lovely essay. I too find that certain natural spaces call to me, whispering inspiration.
It seems that some native indians, in what one would call "shamanism", actually names these natural spaces as "power or sacred places" :)
Congratulations @marzullo!

Yup, its rainsy season even india, rain , this word is really awesome, whenever i hear the sound of the rain, i feel life around me, darn it, its really brethtaking how natures each wonder takes us one step closer to our own life
I love rain too!
the tree and the wood of the guitar, nature and human intervention to create something transcendent like music. Likewise, the natural creature man can become a piece of art, to be art and produce art.
Wonderful the way you put it, @evecenla. I'm sorry I could not follow your comment sooner, but you really touched me with your words, I want you to know that. Thank you, mate

Great quote at the end of your blog @marzullo
I would write it this way, instead of "seem melodius" :
"All tones that nature brings forth
are raw and spiritless;
Often only to the musical soul does the sound of the forest—
the piping of the wind,
the song of the nightingale,
the plashing of the brooks
steem melodious
and meaningful." :-) Steem melodious
