The scenery is the Creator's scenery. The most important thing about the signs etc. is to know there is a God who made all of this. And that He is alive and aware of us.
When Jesus was coming into Jerusalem on a donkey, The people were calling out Hosanna! This meant Savior. The pharisees told him to make them stop.
His answer was "If these should hold their peace (practice silence) I tell you that even the very rocks would cry out."
By practicing "silence", we experience the world speaking to us or God's Spirit speaking to us through the world.
But, it can be too much to handle at times. We can start up the internal dialog to "ground ourselves" at those times. To take a breather, so to speak.
Ecclesiastes says there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent.
I believe that is what it is speaking about.
