Echoes

The world is filled with echoes.  Our ears are not attuned but they are all around us if we just listen.  They are cries for help, shouts of anger, aggression, warnings, fears, pleas for peace, calls for support and praise.  They are the history of humanity and all of the good and bad that comes with it.  The echoes bounce of walls, sidewalks, and roads.  They rebound among the ruins of ancient civilizations, in tunnels and in caves.  They haunt old buildings and float above canyons.

Why do we ignore these echoes?  They are our history...our lessons...our past.  If only we heard them and then heeded their messages.

So sad, so sad.
