Everyday, as I write from my apartment here in Hong Kong, I live in the noise within my mind. No disturbances from others, no colleagues nearby, just the voices, words and sounds within my own head...my own personal cacophony.
Cacophony
I love that word...
It's the most sound
Deafening
Overwhelming
Threatening?
Too much noise?
No
I love it
What's the opposite?
Silence?
Absolute stillness?
But in the absence of sound
I can still hear
My beautiful cacophony
A symphony of white noise
My lovely white noise
She calms me
She cajoles me
She surrounds me
She embraces me
I think in the white noise
I feel in the white noise
I want the white noise
I need the white noise
Cacophony
I love that sound...
