David Abram says that the sound of a waterfall and wind is a kind of language, so water, wind, rock, etc, are alive. I don't agree with him. Actually, I felt like the sound of wind that passed me by cheered me up when my father died. I felt like the sound of a waterfall told me something when I was camping. However, it was not language.
Language means a method that communicates ego.
I don't think so because if they have ego, they would complain that people destroy nature, cutting down trees, polluting water and air, etc. Somebody might think a disaster, earthquake, storm, etc, means that environment complain about us, but it's not true. A disaster is just a result of breaking an environmental system. Wind, water, etc. have no ego. In addition to this, it's hard to separate water or wind to individual.
