:::::::::: in stillness...in what appears to be quiet so many things take place... there's buzzing, hearts are pounding, faraway drums beating, like thunder, blaring, in a soundlessness that reverberates, ::::: no one can tell when dewdrops fall not a sound permeates the air they have long been nourishing, moistening the grass of the earth, yet, no one hears, no one sees, how, or when... the leafholder, without a fiber of speed in its body....devours a whole leaf, there is no chewing, or munching heard even when watched, it gives no sounds. ::::: my purple dendrobium proudly shows new flower buds with such calm, from the base of the cattleya orchid, young green roots take a grasp on the driftwood. how, or when these took place, i really didn't hear, or notice. ::::: on the street, a humble, lightweight house spider, with less than eight legs suddenly moved....like tumbleweeds, rolling with the blowing of a gusty wind, a crawling see-through ball, entangling fallen strands and tiny strips of street dirt, i almost stepped on it, i didn't notice....i didn't hear... the faucet leaks...pail is nearly filled there's a gap of many seconds, before each drop falls and touches the surface of the rising water...too long....most often too late....when heard, and noticed... ::::: so many babies...young children disappear, they pass away...adults die from many unacceptable causes......some self-inflicted...some make it normal an entry into statistics....read, heard, with passing winds... ::::: we live in this noisiest of planets every nook, every part, occupied yet, significant parts of this world....of our life remain unheard...........unnoticed.
