Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen.

About This Quote

Because when he sings...even the birds stop to listen. This is a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning behind it. A bird in a tree singing a beautiful song can be a beautiful sight to behold. It’s a moment that is so moving that no one could possibly miss the beauty of it.

But, what if the bird singing was not alone? What if his audience was also a group of people? If this were to be true, the event would be even more amazing. What if someone heard the singing bird and asked himself, “Who is this man?” And, they decided to go look for him and they found him in the woods. They ask him who he was and why he was there.

He replied, “I am a man who loves nature and I am here because I love to sing for you.” The most amazing part of this story is that most people would pass this on without thinking about it further. They would leave without knowing who this man was or why he loved to sing for them.
