Very much appreciate your enthusiastic words here Carol! It really helps to know people enjoy these articles.

Thanks as always for your many wonderful links which i was able to check out over the last few days. Did you know that birdsong not only aids the growth of plants but it is essential for them. So if the birds didn't sing in the Spring the plants would barely grow. We know this because tests have been done which prove that plants growing in a frequency free situation, in total silence, either don't grow at all or grow extremely badly. So when the teacher says "what do plants need for optimal growth?" we can extend our answer now! And likely completely baffle them ;)

I wrote about Sonic Bloom a few years ago in one of my electroculture posts and sometimes play music to my plants now, with this in mind. They say Vivaldi's Spring creates a similar frequency for them.

Was aware of the switch from 432Hz to 440Hz in 1939 but hadn't given it much thought till now. Makes total sense they would move it from a harmonious useful tone to disharmonious. Not all that surprising a six year war followed on the heels of this change. Humans must have felt very lost suddenly without that deeper connection.

Understanding the situation more clearly now, thanks to the help of the articles you sent, i feel as if i must re-tune our piano at once! Am very curious to spend some time in front of it creating music in tune with 432Hz. Bet it feels totally different!

As for tuning forks i have a bunch but don't use them much. I will double my efforts to have a play with them in the silence of the mornings!

Thank you Carol for drawing my attention back to the tuning forks and inspiring all these wonderful thoughts 🙏
