Fellow prisoners
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” - HB

2. Listen closely while other people are speaking and when they are silent. Listen closely and you will begin to hear their sound signature. There are sound frequencies which come from each and every living thing. Begin a practice of tuning into these sound frequencies. The sound signature's of people, animals, standing people, stone people, your bodymindspirit. When you hear the sound frequencies see if you can duplicate them with your voice.
