🎶 The Singing Tribe

A short parable about a small tribe deep in the Guyanese rainforest whose word for 'person' also means 'singer.' They believed all creatures speak in their own languages — even trees — but only people can truly sing. 'I sometimes imagine the moment when they first encountered people who hardly sang at all. The profundity of the pity they must have felt.' Short, but full of twists — and it delivers a big emotional and ethical wallop at the end.
