silence

When was the last time you sat in undisturbed silence? Silence at home. Not sitting in your office, with the potential for an interruption at any moment, not even silence in a church, where the sound of the other people around you can be intense. But I mean real silence.  In your home, with no electronics turned on, no TV buzzing in another room, no one else home, just nothing.  That is me right now. Well, not doing nothing.  I am typing this. And I can hear the wind in the trees outside, because I am sitting near a window. But wow, silence. Funny how it feels luxurious.
