I'm glad you've found the hobby, working with wood is incredibly satisfying. Our brains are wired for working with natural materials and it's awesome you've tapped into that.
I love to sing, I'll do it all day. I work from home now which makes it easier (less socially awkward) to do but it's all the time. Sing in the shower, sing in the garden, sing to the animals... I'll even invent and sing harmonies to movie scores (we don't go out to the movies so it's okay). There is often some dancing accompanying the singing.
I also really enjoy gardening and interacting with the wildlife that becomes more present as our gardens mature and diversify. The wild birds have gotten used to me working, singing, and dancing within 5-10 feet of them and I'm hoping this is the year I can get some of them to eat from my hand (even if it means I have to stop singing sometimes).
Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree, learning to work with nature such as wood, instead of imposing our will on it definitely gives me perspective on considering our connection with nature. In the modern era, much of how we connect with nature is removed or sterilized.
I’m really glad to hear you sing. There are so many ways music and rhythm weave through our lives. I expect a follow up post if you Snow White like 20 birds onto your arms!
