Silence

After the holidays and the madness of our 7 1/2 hour drive to St. Simons Island and same time drive back, I find myself today in silence. I have not listened to music or turned on the TV. I haven't even talked to anyone for several hours. (I did talk to the Powells this morning, but that was still several hours ago.)

I almost watched a video, but nothing even seemed sort of appealing, so I didn't.

The only thing I hear is the clicking of my own typing and the hum of the appliances that I so rarely "hear."

I seldom live in silence. Well, according to Cecelia, we never truly live in silence because there is always the hum of some electrical thing. But what I mean is that I seldom go more than an hour or so without hearing another human voice, even if it is an impersonal and/or unknown voice, such as the TV or music.

I can truly say that I'm enjoying it now. This is rare too. Usually it is "too silent" for me without something turned on.
