Have you ever just sat down and just listened to the sounds around you? Just listened... nothing else... no cell phones, no ipods, no computers, nothing. You should try it sometime... if you're feeling stressed to the point of exploding, just go outside and find a secluded spot away from everything and just listen. Don't think about anything, just close your eyes and listen to the sounds around you. You'll may be surprised at what happens, where your mind goes, but i can guarantee that you will instantly feel relaxed. Try it!
Granted, silence isn't for everyone... if this is you, i suggest taking your ipod or music device of choice and putting a calm song on, laying in your grass and looking up into the stars. I find myself doing this more and more in the warm summer nights. This can work for you silence people as well. Go out and lay in your grass looking up at the stars. Listen to the sounds around you. If you lay there long enough sometimes you can even start to notice the movement of the sky.... but you have to lay there for a really long time...
Soon enough you may be able to answer Pocahontas' questions....
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
