We call it a cloud because that is the closest to an Earth word for this phenomenon. Its emanations spread far and wide and ultimately encompass everything animate and inanimate on Planet Earth. Unconscious of why, swimmers gradually exit quietly from the water, and stretch themselves on soft towels on the beach, facing the sun. Fishermen now row their boats slowly toward shore on an impulse that is not understood, and sit on the banks facing the water. Even the automotive exodus gradually slows its pace.

No, there is no panic, no screaming and crying, no concern about this abrupt change in normal routine. Rather, there is a calm, a stillness, a peacefulness. No one speaks or moves. Sounds carried without words, it is the activation of thousands of loving voices, and creates melodies, chords and progressions which cross and intertwine in an intricately woven, mesmerizing tapestry of sound. All of Earth is now simultaneously bathed in a palette of colors of the rainbow which move through the spectrum, each hue showing its darkest to its lightest gradations.
