How often do you stop to listen to more than the words of someone speaking? Taking in the space around you and all that is really going on? Inside a building it may be the hum of the air conditioning or the sound of someone coughing. Go outside and you hear the birds chirping and the squirrels chattering. The addition of sound to any locale brings about life!
You might event flip things around and set up total silence for a real shock to the system. With today’s fast moving world, we no longer experience silence in our normal routine. At first it may be surprising, but in time, silence allows for deeper meditation and focus.
