Beautiful, Adrian, and a lot to ponder here. The impact of sound is incredibly profound. I live in the country, and it is, for the most part, blissfully quiet. But a roadway nearby takes big trucks, and sometimes I hear them from my house. They are so obnoxious. I've noticed lately how little tolerance I have for the cacophony of noisy, busy places now that nature sounds dominate my landscape. I actually bought a set of hearing protection headphones like the ones I wear on my tractor for working at my office because sometimes the activity and chatter is too distracting. Do I look nuts? You bet. Am I peace? Absolutely :-)
Thank you Adrian for your insightful exploration of your experience with the gongs et al. Everyone’s journey is different and perhaps the richer your past the richer the sound journey?
