Contemplation

Contemplation:     What can be better than to enjoy the music of God?   what can be better than paying careful attention to the silence?   
Nowadays cities and even towns are so contaminated in the sound aspect, that it has become quite difficult to listen to the birds, not to say, almost impossible to listen crickets,  or the sound of the night.    It has to be quite a natural sound,  in order to be perceived by the modern human ears.   Lets say for example, the wind!    Not many sounds recreated by human can be compared to the one of the wind.   Beautiful and strong, it surrounds the microcosmos as the macrocosmos.  However, human seems to dislike it.     Why would that happen?  well, my theory is that wind reminds human about the wild nature of all things, the spontaneous birth of all life and non life.     
Whoever comes to read this blog,  have you thought for a minute what is your favorite sound of nature?    For me, none has a better meaning than the one of the birds singing before going to bed,  of their whispers of farewell to the father Sun,  when the arrival of Penumbra shines.     What do the bird parents tell to their pidgeons?  that is a question that I have wondered since childhood.    Do they sing lullabies?  are they merely telling them to go to sleep?        As the night arrives, the birds sing, the cat crowd wakes up, and the piano plays,  I feel as if I was travelling to another dimension, similar to this one but nonetheless different. 

It is such a pity that in such a fake-scientific world as in the modern one, Nature's delicacies are most oftenly ignored.  Perhaps not ignored consciously,  but through the process of deafness and blindness of technology.   iPods, Smartphones,  etc..  isolate human from his reality.   Tell me please, what is the purpose of going jogging to the park if you're doing so while listening to music in an iPod?   sure of course it can "sound" cool to listen your favorite music while doing an activity that demands physical effort.   However,  why not to keep the music for home, and not listen to the birds, even the sound of the grass being cutted while you're jogging?  

If human is not able to contemplate what surrounds him,  then what hope is left for imagination, and therefore stimulation?    As a young person I can say that I enjoy activities such as playing videogames, watching films, and such, sure..   But in the modern world there's a bit too many visual experiences.   Human perceives EVERYTHING through his eyes.     The biggest problem of this is that he is getting used to the idea, of perceiving solely things pre-programmed by others.   And so,  he has no time for himself and imagination basically atrophies.

Drinking in excess kills, smoking kills, sedentarism kills even more,  but the suppresion of imagination kills and leaves zombies in the place of pentagrams.
