Sounds

[ChiefD]

Even on the technical side it's true too! When I make Music I have a frequency spectrum open because we need to see the sound as we create and engineer it, each instrument or sound has its place in that spectrum and you have to fill it up just like a painter does a canvas, making sure some colours don't clash, and that others are more dominant. The range for a Human is from 20hz to about 20,000hz, individuals vary slightly, so in Music that is the canvas we work with, but those lower frequencies you feel more than you actually hear.    

Makes you wonder about those inaudible frequencies, how much we are missing out on.

I think we have filled our world with so many distractions that we have lost touch with those things that are natural to us on a visceral level and deeper.

I believe we have the ability to be more connected with the planet, and are losing out on some of the healing properties this planet has to offer. People think I am crazy when I go walking in the woods to talk to the trees, but I feel a sense of calm, peace, and joy, that you can only find in nature.

I find it hard to understand why people reject the idea of all things being connected on the planet, when we are all on a little vacuum sealed, round, or oblique ball, spinning around in a vast universe. It is like saying nothing in the oceans are related,but we know better.

I don’t think you’re crazy at all. I like to talk to the trees, birds, squirrels, rabbits, and whatever denizen I find in the area I take my walks. I chatted with a caterpillar that I was so happy for it and could hardly wait for it to turn into a butterfly. I talk to butterflies too. I enjoy talking to the birds that are on my feeders. I try to convey to them that they are safe at my home and they can consider it a sanctuary. 

Since my condo is my first home, it “talks” to me at night. I am very aware of every sound of settling, the appliances going on and off, etc. It’s comforting to me, especially since my husband went to a nursing home five months ago. I know I’m not crazy, just very attuned to sounds. I love listening to music. I have several music apps, and like to listen to all different kinds of music. I think sound is an integral part of who we all are.
