WHISPERING by Ruth Calder Murphy

The whole world is whispering - whispering long-lost truths and the mysteries of connection…

At least, this is what I’m coming to believe. Myths and legends repeat the same themes and these are echoes of what we see in nature and the circle of life… And the really exciting thing, it seems to me, is that I’m a part of it: we are a part of it.

 I’m part of the whispering and singing and dancing and being and sometimes, I can almost touch it, before it spins off again. Wherever I am, I’m where the whispers meet, because they meet in me - and in you, and in every living thing.

Whispering

- By Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)

The whole world is whispering;

Listen - in the trees,

in the tumbling, turning leaves,

in the spiraling seasons

and the ocean breeze.

The whole world is whispering,

susurrating, rustling,

Listen - it's the whisper of the Winter freeze,

the dancing of the Spring time,

the languor of the Summer,

the rolling of the Autumn

and the tumbling, turning leaves...

The whole world is whispering

and I will be listening;

listening and whispering

and susurrating, murmuring -

filling my being with the whispering of everything,

the song of becoming and being and living -

and the whispering's

becoming the song of belonging...

The whole world's singing

the song of transformation,

the song of evolution,

the song of re-creation

and the song of resurrection...

Listen, listen, listen -

there is music in the rhythm,

there is rhythm in the dancing -

and the whole world is dancing

- the whole world is dancing

to the rhythm and the beat -

and the whole world is singing

to the spinning of the spheres

and I am dancing,

dancing,

where the whispers meet.
