Note: Contributor CK sent us this reflection upon her mornings in Sayulita. If you’re not familiar with this creative little (for now) surf spot in Nayarit, Mexico, you can read more about it here.
The collection of noises that follow the arrival of the sun are too many to count. The birds provide the background upon which all other chatter occurs. Chickens crowing, various indigenous birds chattering, warbling, cawing….
The insects also contribute, providing a consistent hum, carrying about their daily activities despite circumstance. The stream gurgles to my right, occasionally interrupted by a creature crossing its path and stalling the flow.
At this time in the day, the noises from human development are slowly beginning their crescendo. Construction picks up as countless buildings are constructed. Commuters, like the insects, build up a hum of traffic, also bound to continue their days despite circumstances.
In the soft illuminating light, the voice of the people eases into the symphony of morning noise as the day begins.

Sayulita is a perfect place to experience all of your senses. Relax, open your self to the world around you, look, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and your other senses will emerge.
quite a sky there! Beautiful but a little scary.
