Nature Nugget - Noise & Rest By Ed Lyons
The scientists caught a flash of brilliant blue and burnt orange. A Western Bluebird set up a nest and prepared for babies. There was just one problem. She was within earshot of the hum of a natural gas compressor. At first it was not much of a problem, but after being stuck in the nest with the eggs and babies for weeks, the loss of sleep and constant hypervigilance took its toll. Just as in humans suffering from PTSD or chronic fatigue syndrome, blood tests showed hormonal and other chemical deterioration. The researchers reported smaller body growth and poor feathering.
The constant sounds and lights and commotion of our routines and environment can take a toll on us like on the bluebird. It's good to get away to the gentle peace of forest, field, or beach. Sometimes we don't realize just how stressed our senses are until we get away.
"Thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength." (Isaiah 30:15)
