The Living Force
The forest where I live is alive with the mating songs of cicadas. Millions of this brood of cicada emerge every 17 years from underground to mate, lay eggs, and then die. Only males produce the cicadas' distinctive sound, up to 120 dB at close range. Multiply that by millions and it gets your attention. In mythology, the cicada symbolizes resurrection, immortality, spiritual realization and spiritual ecstasy. Quite an impressive chorus to accompany Earth's changes.
