Voice-over: One afternoon while walking with a friend of mine I was given a wonderful example of how to enjoy each day a little more. My friend, who is a zoologist, and a religious man who has always had a close relationship with God had trained himself to hear the marvelous voices of nature. Suddenly he remarked, 'listen to the lovely sound of that cricket.' I couldn't imagine how he could possibly detect the sound of a cricket in all the noise of traffic and people. He didn't explain. He merely took a coin from his pocket and as the people passing by instantly began to look for the coin, he remarked: "We hear what we listen for."
