An Accidental Hearing

I found myself sitting in my study, with my college grading now completed, when to my surprise I heard the call of a mourning dove. I used to hear these calls all the time as a boy -- I lived near several woods -- but generally I'm just too busy with whatever projects to notice such a things.  The sound is still extraordinarily pleasing.  It's an apt reminder that I'm just too d@%* busy most of the time to hear what's worth listening to.
