The language of the birds

THE EDITOR, Sir:

DO WE know the languages of the birds? Do we know the language of the fowls that say thanks to the sun, for warming theirs and the birds' feathers after it rains?

The lower and upper-animals, too, that say thanks to the sun which is created by God?

There are many in Jamaica and throughout the world who do not believe a God exists. They believe He is invented.

We call the creatures and animals, dumb. It is as though we are caught under a ripe berry tree, with the birds atop, uttering a host of languages and tongues, to others of their kind.

But God knows them all. From the birds and animals that warm the sun, if they speak or say thanks for what they receive, God knows it all at once.

God knows about each man and woman on earth than they know of themselves. God designs every man's life. We learn for our betterment, education. And we learn of men and God.

Man owns nothing on earth. He is a possessor. The things made by hands, are passed on to man's children, constituting generations or some possessor God names.

From the birds and fowls, the animals that get warmth from the sun - uttering loud noises - as though we do not understand - prayers in Spanish, French, German and Chinese, God knows them all at once. And He answers, if He must.

And Earth becomes more valuable with the increase in generations.

I am, etc.,

WILBERT HEMMING
