Sound Escape 89: the simple tonic of a stream flowing through an autumn woodland
Nov 04, 2022•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
To be in an autumn woodland after rain is a tonic for a great many ills. Perhaps it’s the simple joy of the leaves so lustrous with rainwater, or the way the mosses swell like lungs. Or the maybe it’s the scent of the Earth – of leaf litter and microbes and fruiting fungi – that seems to connect the ground with the air, and thus you with all of it. It’s certain that the streams appear contented.
A short walk through woodland brings you to a small waterway, where you pause for a while and breathe it all in.
