The sound of the waves crashing and coming to shore is such a soothing one. I think it's pretty well universally accepted as one of the greatest sounds. Why is this? Do you think it's an intrinsic thing? Is it because water is essential to life and therefore we celebrate its close proximity? Is it because it's repetitious and provides a sort of audible motion by which we relax? Is it because the sound of the waves crashing is also the sound of land and therefore the mariner in us knows that we are "home" again?

Whatever the reason, I enjoyed listening to this. It was a stange juxtaposition to the fussing baby in the background so I paused it and re-listened later, while it was more peaceful here.

Glad you shared it! I hope you enjoyed the moment. I did.
