Waves to Vibrations

Sound waves to vibrations: 

from sound waves to vibrations of the eardrum it's all an exchange of energy, physics really, and it's simply being aware that something profound is now taking place, communication with and through the world in a meaningful way -  that this becomes listening. 

it's amazing to consider that we can actually cause a vibration in air that's translated into sound and then a specific meaning added. More so that we are warned of danger, soothed by nature's sounds, consoled by a friend, and able to transcend to higher states of being through the beauty of a song. All from sound waves to vibrations occurring in the air. There's more to this of course, how the brain operates to make sounds meaningful enough to cause an immediate action, interpreting a vibrations as a sign of danger, or the proper response of greeting a friend. What seems such a simple, natural act, just hearing, is so complex in the dynamics of all these interactions. 

and yet it's something far more subtle that turns this process to listening, from here it becomes somewhat of an art of consciousness, a turn of attention in a purposeful act of wanting to know the deepest aspects of what is being heard. We could call this love, a bit more abstract than what is normally thought of, but it's through this attention of waves to vibrations that we turn an act of physics and biology into listening to the meaning of the world. It's our way of seeking to truly know what's being heard beyond what words alone convey, we want to delve into the very essence of a sound wave and join in single vibration, harmonize, a universal song. 

indeed, from sound waves to vibrations - listening is an act of love. 

it's what we offer to each other.

and through this, we add meaning to the world.
