Stone is infinite amounts of time, condensed and materialised but at the same time in constant transformation. It is the past, present and future simultaneously. Stone is a kind of silence. Sounds emphasize a present. Sound is in direct relation to its surroundings. It seems to appear and disappear but at the same time continue infinitely. Like stone, sound is forever present.
The pressure against my eardrum is the silence of your voice is a physical site for listening with the mountain to the ever changing sounds of nature, and a situation which conveys different dimensions of time and being. It is the interaction between a present and a very distant past: an intersection in and through time. A situation we can take part in by slowing down, sitting down on the stool next to the mountain and listening.
