Have you tasted such a silence?
To taste. Digest. To metabolize.
There is a depth of silence out here; in the dense surrounding of douglas firs, cedars, alders, and maple trees.
A silence many people might be uncomfortable with; as I find myself, at times, in the discomfort of such a silence.
I’ve been known to turn on a fan as a means to pacify.
I’ve been known to put on a podcast as a means to hear another human’s voice.
Music sometimes.
Have you tasted such silence?
My mind recalls another silence.
Twenty feet or so underwater.
A scuba diving class; “sinking into the silence” – the most peaceful silence I had tasted.
Have you ever tasted such a silence?
I fare to say it’s an acquired taste.
