Quiet

There is nothing like temporarily, I hope, losing your hearing. I have a couple of ear aches, and it has become quieter in my world. I think this is a little perk to even out the ache in the ears. I remember when my grandfather was in the last years of his life, he wore a hearing aid, but often turned it off. He would sit at family gatherings and just smile benignly. That's how I feel. Or like the children in Charlie Brown, I don't have to make sense of what I can't understand. Maybe that's how I should look at the Universe, the egg, the snake. I don't have to make sense of what I can't understand....Hmmmm.
