#2 Solstice
– Summer Solstice evening, 2022.
Listening to the sounds (music) ofnature this 1st evening of summer.
A story by Manly P. Hall:
“In the early days of the world the children of the earth learned to imitate the eternal music of Nature, the singing of the birds, the moaning of the winds, the swishing of the waves on rock bound shores, the night cries of bird and beast, all of these blend into a mystic cadence which we may call in truth the endless symphonies of Nature.
The powers of creation are eternally musical, their mystic cadences swell from star to star with note divine. All nature, seen and unseen, formed and unformed, listens in rapt awe to the endless symphonies of the Great Unknown.
Then there is another music, the song of Life, the beating of human hearts, the peals of merry laughter, the broken sobs of sorrow.
All these blend into a mystic orchestra, oftimes unheard, which swells in note invisible through eternity to the very footstool of the Divine. Man’s nature pours forth from his being with the expression of living music… the very emotions of his soul pour out in divine harmonies from the instrument that registers and seems to live the innermost thoughts of the musician, the innermost symphonies of his soul.” Risa
