Reign of Spirits

In the quiet landscape, near and distant sounds evoke uncanny presences in the imagination.


Listening, hearing, and contemplating the unseen, it is possible to perceive in the way of ancient or "primitive" people, alert to change of atmosphere and movement both subtle and extensive.  These are, in fact, highly refined faculties worthy of development for their perceptual and aesthetic virtues.
