Have you ever noticed how little quiet is in the world? Media is everywhere; clock radio, TV, car radio, Ipod, CD collection. Different ways to make noise on each noisemaker; CD player/radio/alarm; CD/Stereo; TV/VCR/DVD/TiVo; multiple ring tones; on and on and on. I would love to just sit in a hammock or a rocking chair or lie in the grass and hear...nothing. Crickets, maybe. Bees buzzing by. Watch the clouds and think. Or--gasp!--read a book. In the quiet. With no music or alarm or phone or TV or radio commercial telling me I need to Get Down There Now!! Now!! Now!! and buy a Subaru...anywhere nearby. Quiet. Rest. Peace.
Just a thought...
Peace out...

This is why I go camping. I cook a little and read a lot and sit and do nothing the rest of the time. I love the peace and serenity that nature provide. Man (I mean that in a very general sense of the word) messes it up.
I love silence. I love reading and not having any sound...its the best feeling in the world!
i live in the city. this is never going to happen.
at times i find myself overstimulated by sound. especially early in the morning.
btw, what did you do for the birthday!
