Have you ever heard the sound of silence? Not the Simon and Garfunkel song, which in many ways is the antithesis of what I'm talking about here, but the sound of REAL silence, a natural resource that is all too rare in our world today.
Thanks to radio, TV, ipods etc., combined with the unrelenting noise of modern life, technical tinnitus ... the rumble of traffic, the muffled roar of aircraft all around, the hum of electricity, the whirr of computer and aircon fans ... silence is a rare commodity but there's still some left if you look for it.
Ssshh ... I'm enjoying the silence of "Riverbend".
