There's no such thing as silence

I'm currently sitting on my living room couch, and while its just me in the house, there is noise everywhere... I can hear the hum of my laptop.. one of the cats just jumped off a chair; a small thump as she landed.. cars are outside, their engines rumble past and dissipate into the distance.. a knocking sort of sound came from the neighbors next door.. its starting to rain.. there's a bird or some sort of high pitched noise outside as well.. the rain is making a noise similar to someone dragging their feet across the sidewalk.. the cat jumped again; she meowed.. i can hear my breathing.. slower now that i recognized it.. random clicks or creaks throughout the house.. could do with the heating or plumbing.. neighbors are running water.. i can hear someone walking.. the cat jumped again.. faint thud noise at the neighbors.. the couch creaked when i move my leg.. it's still raining.. faint knocking at the neighbors.. my keys make small clicking noises as i type... silence does not exist.

  1. Excellent. It is interesting that you can hear your own breath with heightened awareness. Indeed, silence does not exist.
