It’s a rare moment in my life when I truly hear silence ; from the voices at work to the sounds of my family at home silence is something that is truly rare. Yet occasionally the family goes away and all of a sudden the only sound I hear is the creak of a door, the washing machine or my dog eating a bone. Every sound that pops out is amplified and every sound is clearer then ever before. The sounds become even louder as the night takes over and the house is truly empty. I can understand how those who are alone can make those sounds have different meanings until the point where they go insane. For now the silence is refreshing and awakens a new understanding of the world I am living in but if it lasts to long who knows where it would take me.
