Listen To Them

By Charles A. Faulkner

I love animals. I love animals, and I am painfully aware of their relentless disenfranchisement in the face of the continual advancement of civilization. Recently, we all were reminded of this disenfranchisement when it was pointed out that some areas of our civilization, having been vacated by humans due to the pandemic, have seen animals once more venturing out into places they once called home. Granted this advancement of civilization is necessary given our hunger for continual progress. But sometimes while busily reaching out for that that is before us, we sometimes tend to ignore, minimize, and even cast aside that that is beside us. Should we have the good fortune to have a relationship with an animal, perhaps our pet or one we accidentally come across, strengthen that bond, however brief, by giving ear and even an eye to its side of that relationship. Listen to them and consider. Perhaps not with a tree but surely with humans and with pets, every true relationship should have a value that lasts even unto death. This book is meant to encourage such an eventuality.

It was adverse that fortune first miled on the author. For it was the mother who gave him birth who lit the fire which in do course grew into a conflagration which morphed into an ancient. The fire? reading. That mother fed the fire reading fairy tales and nursery rhymes to the author and encourage him to participate for himself. As time pass, the author graduated too reading comic books, which devoured voraciously. About that, she's a mother, who was a pianist, introduced him to music, which he took to gladly. Years later, that led to another ancient, composing. He has composed one classical piece, two jazz pieces, one soliloquy-like ballad, and six selections for church which include a musical drama entitled "The Tightrope". It has four acts, a prologue, and epilogue. The author wrote the story and the complete dialogue, but he did not write the musical selections. Instead, he selected the lections already written and use them in the story as a dialogue called for them.
