When out on the trail and while alone, you might be more inclined to pick up on what you hear with extra sensitivity. While the visual quality of an area can be overwhelming, there is a peace that comes with rushing or gentle waters you can hear if you listen. These waters are a symbol of life. They nourish, rinse, and soothe the spirit. If there is any favorite wilderness quality I would have chosen above all others, it would be still, gentle, or rushing alpine waters. To stimulate the heart and bring renewal all at once.
