Can You Hear The Earth Sing?
"What are you doing Don Pancho?""I'm listening to the earth sing, mi'jita."
So begins the hauntingly lovely conversation between a little girl and her friend, the village elder, Don Pancho about the wonders of nature. The whimsical notes of the "songs" the earth sings will tickle the imagination, and delight children as well as adults. The implicit lesson about paying attention to our connection with nature, getting so quiet you can hear a "star's lullaby to the trees" is gently cloaked in lyrical word pictures that invoke the southwestern flavor and landcape that inspired the story.

“Can you Hear the Earth Sing” is a lovely piece that conjures up the lost child in all of us. Its timeless, environmental message is perfect for today’s world where connection to the earth is sometimes forgotten. Lucinda Davis |
