M&M: a taste of silence.

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.
