Silence is silver

If presented with the choice between losing your sight or your hearing, most people I have spoken to would choose the latter. I cannot disagree. That doesn't mean I'd like to lose my hearing either.

Music is my favourite toy. Without it I am like a child put in the corner. Very naar and I think the world is against me.

At the moment I have a problem with my ears. I have an infection that won't go away, and hearing is becoming harder. The reality dawned on me that my hearing (and my health) is so much more precious than what I give it credit for. I don't want to imagine not being able to listen.

Listen. We don't do that enough as a nation. I don't do enough of that. I am so busy talking my ears only hear my voice. Maybe they needed a break:)

My silence is silver because my sound is gold. The sound of my favourite song, my boyfriend's guitar, the wind I profess to detest, and if I may say so myself, my own voice. I have a lot left to learn and say.
