SOUNDS

Sometimes if I turn off 

all the sounds around me ….

Sometimes if I then just

sit still and listen into  the silence,
I begin to  hear sounds I missed

when I missed them:

a baby’s shriek in church

this morning at the very

moment of consecration;

a dog barking at midnight;

a  “… by the way did you realize 

what you were saying when you 

said, 'Thank you for the ….'”
