A barred owl is deep in the woods

A barred owl is deep in the woods. “Who, who, who, who cooks for you,” he calls. That’s not really hearing, though. That’s translation.

There is language and there is hearing. That which is heard, fills you entirely and everyone knows empty vessels don’t talk. What can we do, but stand by a wild woods with the sound of eternity ringing in our ears?
