continuing silence

6/22/14

  There is no silence in nature. Even without the human clamor, nature makes its own noise.
  When i was walking in the woods i heard continuous bird calls, small animal chatter, and the drone of insects. These were not obtrusive sounds, however. These noises seemed biologically rhythmic, a kind of swell of life. As opposed to the synthetic crash and boom of peopled environments.
  We human beings are like the noisy residents of a big apartment complex. We're constantly renovating and throwing loud parties, not caring how it upsets all the other tenants. Not to mention, how it brings down the property values.
