You’ve probably heard that dolphins, whales (and dogs but since we’re on Steemit let’s focus on sea mamals) have a much wider hearing range than humans.
Humans: 0.015–20 kHz
Dolphins: 40 - 160 kHz
Whales: 60 - 120 kHz
Likewise, the visible spectrum of human beings is around 400-700 nm. While many animals see UV or infrared, which we wouldn’t even know exists had it not been for scientific discoveries or UV light damage thanks to which we get to wear cool sunglasses. Apparently butterflies have the widest visual range... and don't wear sunglasses.
I’m not a biologist, I’ve just done some research online… and who knows whether all this data is correct! Regardless, this song is inspired by our limited perception of what’s going on around us. There’s so much more out there than we can ever be aware of! I always get amused when I hear people fighting over what’s true :) Ha!
So pause, listen to where this song of mine will take you and think about all of the above…
Wonder if any of the whales or dolphins will hear my cry :)
A SLICE
I’ve lived a million lives before
I think I’ll come back for some more
perfect human being
In this body, in this place
in the 3d world of time and space
learning about being
I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
But every step I take
I walk the best I can
I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
Years ago and miles away
I saw you in a different way
A perfect human being
The only thing that hasn’t changed
Is the witness looking through the lens
Of this imperfect human being
I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
But every step I take
I walk the best I can
I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
Oh and my mind
Can be so blind
Wandering ‘round in the same old maze
When the veil gets lifted
For a moment in time
In a ray of light
I feel the warmth
I feel the love
In a ray of light
I feel the warmth
Though I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
But every step I take
I walk the best I can
I only hear a slice of what’s to hear
I only see a slice of what’s to see
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
I only hear the song that plays on in my head
