sound is interpreted visually and processed as narrative...
what's mythic about a sound?

sounds connect us back to memories and values - including the sacred - and perhaps to a yearning for a better future

* * * * * * *

thunder is a sonic call to us from the planet to praise her majesty and mysteries

rain pounding on the roof shows us our vulnerability but is also an opportunity to catch, store and re-use nature's resources

the sound of erosion means that we are wasting water and soil resources...
and the ecosystem

irrigation pipes and engineered culverts are symbols of mankind's failed manipulation of nature

the life in and around a pond community includes sounds of birds, insects and mammals

nature sounds are symbols

symbols build myths

myths can change us
