STOP
.
Take a deep breath...
.
Listen...
.
Listen carefully...
.
What do you hear?



I hear
The dryer's machine hums.
A car's engine rumbles while it passes in the nearby street.
A tapping steps, most probably of a high heel shoes, a person walking in the passageway underneath my window.
What else?
A sigh from ..."me"
There are some other unrecognizable sounds that I can feel, but it's hard for me to describe in words.
Ah!!!
I almost forgot…The clicking of the keyboard bottons while I am typing these words.
...
So...stop for a moment and tell us or just just keep it for yourself…

What do you hear?

I could hear the background music of Wii game that my son is playing downstairs, I hear faintly the traffic nearby, I could hear the sound of the pop ups stopper in my laptop..and last but least I could hear the clicking sound of the keyboard keys under my fingers .. :o)

Salam Enlightened Spirit,
I hear the never-ending blathering of SpongeBob Square Pants and the sound of doves cooing in my backyard.

"I hear nothing, not a sound on the city streets, just the beat of my own heart"
your question reminded me with this line from a movie named "you've got mail" which i simply adore!

فكرة حلوة
