When I went through a dark period in my soul, I felt a profound disconnect from life. Rumi’s writings came into my life, especially his text that presents human beings as a house in which unexpected emotions and experiences appear every day: joy, sadness, shame, and confusion. I realized that even what causes us to suffer can teach us something

That text described exactly how it felt in those moments when you no longer feel at home within yourself. When life seems strange, emotions weigh heavily, and it’s hard to make sense of what’s happening

Suddenly, everything seemed to invite me not to reject that experience, but to listen to it

I took the idea of “listening to it” literally...

I began paying attention to what had remained silent until then. I wasn’t looking for answers, at least not consciously. Perhaps I simply needed to find a way of being in the world without having to understand everything

That was when my attention turned toward plants

There was something about them that invited me to pause. Their quiet presence, their almost imperceptible movements, their way of inhabiting time without rushing it. While I was trying to make sense of my own existence, they continued to live: extending their roots, opening their leaves toward the light, adapting to darkness, moving through their own cycles of transformation

I began to wonder what might happen if, instead of observing them only with my eyes, I tried listening to them in a different way

This question became a sonic exploration. Through a sound composition connected to plants, I began to approach a territory where listening was no longer merely a physical act, but a form of relationship. Sounds, vibrations, and textures began to open a space of encounter between my inner world and the plant world

It wasn’t necessarily about translating plants or claiming that I could understand their language. It was about allowing myself to relate to them from a different place, cultivating a more sensitive attention to what usually remains beyond our perception

In that process, something began to change

Listening called me back to the present. It invited me to quiet the noise of my thoughts, even if only for a few moments. To accept that there are forms of existence that do not need to be explained in order to be meaningful. That life unfolds beyond my questions, my certainties, and my need to find answers

Little by little, the disconnection I had felt began to transform into a new way of approaching the world. Not because I had found a definitive solution to what I was going through, but because I had discovered another possibility: instead of trying to return to who I had been, I could learn to relate to life from the place where I found myself

Perhaps this, too, was listening

Recognizing that even in the moments when we no longer feel at home within ourselves, we are still part of something larger. That our inner processes are not necessarily separate from the cycles unfolding around us. That we, too, move through periods of stillness, transformation, loss, and renewal

The plants did not offer me answers. They offered me an experience of attention. And through sound, that attention became a bridge: between the human and the vegetal, between the visible and the imperceptible, between my inner world and the life that continued unfolding outside

From that moment on, I began to understand listening not only as a way of perceiving our surroundings, but as a practice of connection. A way of inhabiting the present once again, and of recognizing that perhaps we had never been entirely separate from life; perhaps, at times, we had simply lost the ability to hear our own belonging to it

My composition was born from this encounter. From a dark night of the soul that, without intending to, led me toward another way of listening. An exploration in which sound became a space of relationship, plants became companions in inquiry, and listening became a way of drawing closer once again to the mystery of being alive...
