broken quiet in forest
solitude in trees

Have you ever noticed how sound can influence your mood? When I awake before the rest of the household I enjoy the quiet, though not as much as sitting in a deciduous forest without people talking. The house creates its own sounds of modern life. Then, when even one person is up and making noise the day has changed.  After experiencing a ruptured eardrum a few ago, I became much more attuned to the noises about me. Since that unexpected eardrum rupture, recordings designed for meditation became a necessary tool for relaxation. I continue to use them to focus my energy when writing.
