Background Noise

Many thanks for comments ...

I definitely wanted to use the whole narrative of the discovery of cosmic radiation left over from the "big bang" as a metaphor...I'm not sure how Tommy and the pigeons got in here...but I suspect it's something to do with the act of listening, of being able to hear (really hear) that's bound up with the past too and all associations of the past (all myths, and ideas that you could attune to before the drudgery of day-to-day living sublimates that inner ear..)...I guess the "unknowable aftermath/ behind everything" can be several things...my metaphoric cosmic radiation is the unheard background of Love, God, Meaning, Childhood...but mostly the ideas of Love and God that get surprisingly rediscovered when we listen (stop and really allow ourselves to listen) and realize it was always there in the background despite our failure to register under the din of daily occupation....Rgds.,Alan.
