Early this evening, (or very late this afternoon),
I turned off every appliance and the BBC radio noise.
All I heard were the noises from outdoors -
mostly the wind.
Some animal makings -
hunger (the "whoof" of the ponies),
or curiosity (the bay of the bloodhound),
boredom (the quacking ducks).
I heard birds -
lots of birds up in the spring-budding trees.
I liked the quiet.

but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.”

and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life
stimulates the creative mind”

to hear the genuine within yourself
so that you can hear it in others.”

Wind. I hear only wind. Lots and lots of wind. Tearing out my hair over the wind. I would like to hear a bird.
