Sounds

[poliphilo]

Things I can hear if I sit still and concentrate:

1. The continuing hum of the computer and its monitor.

2. The intermittent rat-a-tat-tat of the computer talking to itself.

3. Traffic noise- distant and erratic. It's been raining- so cars go by with a swish.

4. The pulsing of three electric clocks.

5. An occasional muffled thud from next door.

6. Once- the musical chime of next door's telephone.

7. Birds going squawk, squawk, squawk in the garden.

8.The creaking of my leather belt as I breathe in and out.

I'm not one for having music playing. I'd rather listen to the sounds of silence. Right now the kids are back from school and there's more thumping from next door- plus voices.

I too enjoy the "silences". Many days and nights the TV never goes on, and the CD's sit neglected in their case.

The one time I have music playing in the background is when I'm in the kitchen.
