Introduction
If the Earth could also whisper, what might she say to you? Since when have humans ceased to hear the murmurs of nature? The blowing winds that went past us and the moonlight scattered upon the plane trees, carrying their own volition, are attempting to sing. If every whisper were to be overheard, what would we say? Would we speak at all? The private domain of humanity no longer belongs solely to itself. The pain, fear, compassion, helplessness, emptiness, confusion, and indignation being felt arise from our own existence within this reality. Behind these whispers lies the key of reclaiming positive human communication, and the intensity of such a volume, I wonder, shall scale up to something thrilling and awe-inspiring. For the sake of these whispers, we stand ready to relinquish ourselves at any second. For the sake of these whispers, we have long assimilated ourselves into the "collective." Do you hear? Every distinct voice is repeatedly, hesitantly, resoundingly, plainly, whispering "Whisper."
