There's a Kind of Hush


It's after 2am. Why I'm still up on a "school night" I don't know. I have been staying up to all hours lately. Some days I'm sure it's just caffine too late in the day. But I have had a few nights where I can't keep my eyes open and it's still early. That is very weird for me.

Tonight there is a peaceful quiet in the house. Crickets outside. I used to love falling asleep to them when I was a . They sometimes would get in the heat vents and really be loud.

Have you ever thought it was quiet and then walked into a room that was exceptionally quiet? And realized that what you thought was quiet was somehow noisy? But you couldn't put your finger on what exactly made the other room noisy?
How about turning off the computer when it's normally on? Doesn't it get quiet? Funny how we don't realize exactly how much noise the fan makes.

Sometimes when I'm hiking I'll come across a part of the trail that seems silent. Again, everything seemed quiet before but all of a sudden it is just extra quiet and you don't even know what was making noise before.
There is a thing called "tanking". it is a sound proof, light proof container, for lack of a better term, which you lay down in. It is filled part way with body tem water, so you don't feel it, and it is salty so you float. It is basically set up so you don't see, hear or feel anything; Sensory deprivation.
You are alone with your thoughts. I wonder what that is like. Could be freaky.
So is quiet your friend? Have you ever noticed it all of a sudden being extra quiet And being surprised?
Well right now it isn't extra quiet but it is quiet and peaceful. And those don't always go together. Ya know what I mean?
