The title reminds me of the sci-fi book The Dark Forest, whose premise is that the galaxy is full of life that stays silent for fear of being annihilated. In retrospect, not a whole lot different from an actual forest.
I sometimes subscribe to the spiritual view of the author, that space (in this case a forest) is part of a larger intelligence that communicates with us. It's not something I bring up a lot, for fear of sounding unhinged, but it lines up with my experiences.
