At the Foot of the Tree by Rolf Edberg,



The winds of the globe have two great orchestras to conduct:
the waters and the trees. The winds know their instruments,
know their possibilities. Man has created his own music,
built upon mathematically regulated intervals between air
vibrations of different frequencies within the narrow spectrum
of sound that man's auditory nerves are able to apprehend. ...
But his music is only a reflection of nature's. One who has
preserved the ability to listen will be filled with a sense
of the timelessness in the symphonies of the winds, the waters,
and the woods. Even mightier than now, they rushed over
the earth long before man entered upon the scene.
They will resound, more subdued, in diminuendo, long after
humankind has made its exit.
Rolf Edberg, "At the Foot of the Tree"
