Haha, the poem of silence! I decided to take a moment of silence. I could only hear the humming of the freeway mixing with the humming of my air purifier.

Yes, two sounds quite different in decibles and tones. Right now, if I close my eyes and listen, I hear a nice quiet and there was a vehicle which sounded like a truck speeding down the road from the west heading east. I did not hear the sound of water underneath the tires nor a whine of the engine. Now once again it is quiet and peaceful. Thank you for a nice, honest👍 comment, David. ⭐ Sara K.

How a person can change. I used to talk a lot. Now I prefer silence. Getting old, I guess.

Well, people can and do change, Victor. There is a poem that goes there was an old owl who lived in an oak, the more he saw the less he talked, the less he talked the more he heard, now wasn't that a wise old bird. Thank you for the nice review. Your presence here is uplifting. ⭐ Sara K.

Kind of quiet here as well. The AC is running, TV off, no humans here now, and I am not talking. I enjoyed your comments, Sara B. Your visit is uplifting. ⭐

Through our brain thoughts pass in endless commotion. If we can stop the flow of thoughts and remain silent for at least some time, we will move into a state of relaxation. You are right, Sara.

I have discovered that it is never totally silent but less sounds around helps us to relax doesn't it, Paula. Thank you for the visit. Sara K. 👏
