This is God's wondrous world
and to my listening ears
all nature rings and round me rings
the music of the spheres
This is the revised first verse of a traditional hymn, and one of my favourites. Apparently it's not a favourite of the US Navy. There is a listening project underway out here on the Left Coast, an eight hundred kilometre "necklace" on the sea floor with sensitive equipment used to pick up the sounds of the sea, everything from whales, to ships, to drilling equipment. That's where the military comes in. Tracking these sounds will include what are perceived as sensitive military operations, so the navy just doesn't like what is unfolding.
Of course we know the world is all about the needs of the military. Take a listen to some of the underwater soundtracks offered up on the BBC website. I figure God delights in the sounds of the whales and doesn't have a lot of time for the cloak and dagger concerns of the navy.
Thoughts?
Much ado about nothing? (Then again, I'm not privvy to millitary secrets ...)

Caffeine is needed before typing/thinking!
ReplyDeleteIn the morning go to the privy, consume caffeine, read the blog, then visit the privy again to deal with the caffeine.
