The ongoing sprawl of urban development and new subdivisions spread throughout Vernon and area makes anthropogenic noise almost omnipresent.
For all of us it is important to keep treed and open green alternatives to our torn world of crisis, sour uncertainty, chaos, confusion, complex politics, conflicting cultures and contentious climate challenges.
Let us all spread the gospel that it is a beautiful world if one knows where to look; in the open spaces of wilderness.
And to extol its aesthetic recreational value. The spring is the time to eavesdrop on nature.
Surprising it is the balm for the soul, health, social and well being - linked to positive neurobiological effects, social, mental, psychoogical and physical benefits.
Gloat at nature. Cut yourself off from the digital world of media networks.
Interest yourself in the various species of song birds.
Ask: why are they ere? Look at their diverse species, their behaviour, diet, habitat, size, colour and type of nests they are building.
Birds throughout Vernon and area provide such a sweet and pure spectacular display of a duet chorus of song.
You hear expressions of octive patterned sounds. A soundtrack of a wide spread orchestra of acoustic diversity and intensity reaching a crescendo repertoire social networking of soundscapes. It makes one feel reborn.
A mental conditioning of clearing the mind where you don't need to prove anything.
Birds have a genius for communications that raptures me. To me a bird sings a song of love. Love is its universal language; the key to peace, freedom and understanding to living in harmony.
Interesting how one bird's vocalized timing teases and weeds out the interaction of cognitive abilities in song with the other.
It amazes oneself what it takes to create a frequency amptitude spectral distributed narration of generous energetic transmission of an individual moment.
A musical score that is grateful for the moment and free for one's ears.
Birds are also talented, inventive, innovative architects and engineers. Observe how birds thoroughly select and gather their nest's building material.
There is no critical challenging shortage of affordable housing here.
It appears the character of each nest is dedicated by its situation and available materials and a reliable diversity of food supply. A test of fitness. This is so eloquent and compelling to watch.
The nest is expertly precisely built on a working instructional memory code rich in detail. It all works in a trying out different sturdy weather-proof materials and possibilities of proven shape, form and design.
A creative engineering feat that exists in parallel to the organic topography of nature's architecture.
When completed, every material used is a formation of intricate, interconnected, contour of strategically placed saddle points. Every point is a mud-cemented, detailed, accurate keystone. Cleverly held together by a reliable foundation of orderly, pliable, sensuous curves and aligned, flattened arches.
Everything is connected to something.
The final product is an amazingly built, beautiful, mathematically complex order of varied, detailed, textured, tightly interwoven, knitted, poked and threaded geometric orthogonal parameter of a heuristic piece of craftmanship.
This spring, immerse yourself in nature's biology and ecology. This world would be a kinder, gentler, happier place if we all spent time with ourselves in nature's extravagance.
There are few better ways than to reconnect with nature than to plunge one's soul and spirit in a chorus of joyful song birds.
Natural nature is alive with a voice. It is one of the fundamental pathways through which human nature engages with natural nature.
Nature with its forested and green space must be explored not exploited with dense sprawling urban development with new subdivisions.
Subdivisions that are filled with tightly-finished marbled structures that look like repetitive glittered milk cartoons or hung over look alike sick Christmas trees with no creative bold imagination whatsoever.
