Tower of Babel

What if the significance of the tower of Babel really lies in what happened before it existed. What if everyone spoke the same language, all humans, animals, tree, flowers, water, all of nature. What if the fairies were able to communicate with humans, trees could talk to humans, and dogs could talk to trees and babies and children could talk to everyone. Then I catch myself, well some of those things really do happen, babies do know how to commuicate with animals and flowers easily. Dogs do know how to talk to trees. What has changed is the human factor. Humans speak so many different languages and get confused, We create wars and grudges out of simple misunderstandings.

What if the Native American languages( refer to language post please) that emphasized
kinesthetics or feelings were the true language of communication with all things. We often hear that the native way was being connected to all things and valuing all life. What if all traditional cultures, used the same language before the tower of Babel. Gods could talk to humans, to dogs, to flowers to trees to fairies to Godesses.

I want to create that time again. I want all of us to be able to ask our dogs what is the matter and understand the answer. I want to be able to ask the mulberry tree in my yard why it no longer produces berries or the rasberry bushes are all thorns?
What a magical communicative world it could be. If you want to read an interesting writer that does communicate easily with nature, please check out Michaelle Small Wright's books .
