For that brief moment
I’m sitting in our living room. For once, all the fans are off. No A/C running. No ciling fan spinning. No electronic devices humming. Quiet, except for the light rain pitter-pattering away on the metal roof. Peaceful.
Well, it was peaceful until the neighbors pulled up with their loud, untuned diesel pickup truck. Now all I hear is cars and trucks driving up and down the streets. I can even hear the hum of the interstate. The quiet is gone. Even the household fan noises have returned.
For that brief moment… peace.
