THOUGHT and MANKIND

THOUGHT,usually in the form of ASSOCIATIONS, verbal and otehrwise, has freed itself from SENSATION and what has been called 'instincts'. HENCE, language, spoken or written,has assumed a primacy over all human behaviour. The origins of Language(s),however traceable to animal, primate or reptilian trends or tendencies as such are uniquely HUMAN. The various means and ways that animals,especially birds, apes, and insects, communicate are undeniable, of course, and merit constant study and appreciation and in this sense, ALL NATURE SINGS! All Nature resonates, vibrates, and interacts but we have lost,it would seem, all sense of this, all the old 'purity' of primal experience or have we?
