I hear the wildness of the animals. They have been reincarnated; and now they are begging me to bring world peace to them. (Well, no wonder they're reincarnations! Us humans have always considered greed and gluttony deadly sins.)

I live in a one-room apartment, 3rd floor; and Weather Report literally sounds like it's coming from the ground. On "Ol-Olool-O" I hear ethnic people speaking. They're probably somewhere else in this world. I also hear bees. I shouldn't be afraid of the bees, for they mean no harm. Only when I upset them should I be concerned about them.
