these are the simple melodies known the world over as earth songs. to sit or stand in the presence of nature's splendor, one cannot help but acknowledge and appreciate the creative forces that coalesced to produce such pristine beauty. [ hummingbird's sounds ] to watch the rapid beat of the hummingbird's wings as it hovers over a flower to drink its nectar. to turn around and find yourself standing in the presence of a bobcat. to see a bear stand up on its hind legs gazing at a field of dandelions. these are moments where nature, in an instant of spiritual connection, takes our breath away. for many people these encounters become a mystical experience. elders from the indigenous tribes have an expression for this. they say, we have walked together in the shadow of the rainbow. indeed, these are spiritual moments and nature is filled with them. throughout the many cultures and geographic climates around the globe, the words wind, breath and spirit are synonymous. these currents of gentle winds
