She went on to say something else, but Jamie found his attention drifting. He was feeling sleepy, for it was warm, and he could lie there for ever, he thought, listening to the sound of Isabel's voice, in the way one listens to the conversations of birds, or the sound of a waterfall descending the side of a Scottish mountain; sounds for which we cannot come up with a meaning, but which we love dearly with all our heart, and loving anything with all your heart always brings understanding, in time.
Jamie was becoming increasingly drowsy as he listened to Isabel speak. The warmth of the surroundings made him feel comfortable, almost as if he could stay in that moment forever. He found himself drawn to the melody of her voice, reminiscent of nature’s soothing sounds like birds chirping or a waterfall, which evoke feelings even without a clear meaning behind them.
This experience of listening brought Jamie a sense of connection and tranquility. He realized that love and understanding often grow from such simple, heartfelt moments, suggesting that even in silence, meaningful connections can form over time, leading to deeper comprehension of the things we cherish.
