| Another day goes by... |
and today is that day that I've decided to post another blog. I've been busy at work and at home, sorry blogger. I'm not contemplating anything deep, just typing to hear myself type and enjoy the sweet subtle hum of my computer...so nice.
Have you ever had to sit an a cube all day? Have you ever, just for a moment, listened to the noise that pollutes your environment. This morning I did just that, I listened for a minute trying to silently visualize my day [insert thought bubble here]. Not five seconds later, I was interrupted by the sound of doors opening, people typing, phones ringing, cell phones blazing, and not a second too soon, then came the chatter. It's amazing how much noise pollution we block out in a day. Sometimes the noise is so loud I have to duck into another office to really focus. Sometimes I'm the polluter with my phone calls to people on the speaker phone. I do that to be quick, most times it's by habit.
Most of the time it's very quite. So quiet at times I can hear people scrolling their mice five cubes away, it's pretty funny if you listen...scroll, scroll, scroll. The quiet times are at 6:30 a.m. until around 8:15 a.m. and than again around 4 p.m. Sometimes I yell across cubes for the fun of it, but only to amuse myself.
So my thought was: If we block out office noise, what else do we habitually block out? The sounds of little birds our your bedroom window, the roaring of an engine, the sound of a baby's cry, a stolen glance from your lover? I think we are so bombarded with noise, whether it is visual, audible, or emotional pollution we tend to block out or ignore the other more stimulating and rewarding events, sounds, smells, and caresses.
If I see a beautiful sunrise, I praise it. If I smell the sweet, salty sea, I cherish it. If I hear and see my loving family, I am most thankful. Without these senses I would be blind to the world and all it glorious wonder. I, too, am guilty of blocking out the most important senses, but at least now I am a little more conscience of it with hopes of experiencing it another day. |

Some Personal Stuff: I enjoy listening to my computer hum (it makes me so sleepy), driving the speed limit, blogging, and eating tomatoes and cheese. I like to whistle in public with a big smile on my face and say hello to complete strangers.
