Inspiration

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.  For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.

-William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

 

 

As humans spread into undeveloped nature, we fill the spaces with human sounds, human voices, traffic, music, advertising jingles, street-corner preachers, and bands.  Humans bring the noise.  And our ability to consider increasingly loud and noisy environments as "normal"  and "home" makes it worse.  It takes a radical shifting of attention or a change of place to realize the value of quiet.  Rather than enriching our space with sounds of life, we are crowding out the calls of other species.

-Seth S. Horowitz, PhD The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind
