The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are...
“There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins.

This is a great idea and a brilliant use of youtube videos. Take a look! I thought I’d take a crack at this, and so I gathered my own collection of the sounds of nature and instruments that nature plays.
