The humanness of animals or is it the
animalism in humans?
Humans have a soul – a deference for right and wrong.
Animals are instinctive, sly, honed for survival.
Evolution has sharpened the differences – or magnified
the similarities?
Silence – does it exist in our two environments?
Groups of “social trekkers” who crash through woodlots on their Sunday
afternoon walks frequently talk loudly, laugh incessantly, and are
generally noisy intruders. There is an OBVIOUS lack of appreciation of
being present in the secluded home of feathered and furry out of doors
residents. Noisy, always noisy, these aliens to nature’s realm are devoid of an
appreciation of the benefits to man and beast associated with silence.
Oh yes, there is cacophony in the animal world: rutting season, migrational
passages, the horrific life and death battles taking place daily between
hunter and stalked. These outcries blend into the larger fabric of life on the
plains.
Just the right note is sounded, the opera of life is exactly on key.
The absence of dissonance is remarkable.
Which returns us to silence.
Listen intently in the oak stand on a mountain side venue in which every
sound, each noise is part of an Integrated symphony… composed, conducted,
and played by the instruments of nature, may indeed
be an orchestra of silence. The music of nature is at such a perfect pitch, so
soothing, that our capacity to hear/interpret/comprehend is stretched to the
limit.
The creator’s way of protecting and celebrating the deity’s own.
A view from a differing side of the oracle’s temple which differs from the
common understanding –nature’s symphony is a complement to our senses. It
soothes as does the vaporization of sound we call silence.
Silence – with a twist, a variation on the theme: given to us as a gift by the
Great I Am.
