Sounds tend to tie to memories in ways we don't expect. I have a knack for catching a voice in a crowd and finding I know the owner More often than that, I can recognize voice actors on TV shows and cartoons.
I bring this up to mention that lack of sound and silence also has its own texture. Or, more specifically lack of particular sounds. I wake up sometimes when the wife is out of the bed, missing the sound of her breathing. When the kids are "up to something" is when they get too quiet. You hear a lack of sounds outside when something is wrong.
Sound is a tangible thing with a texture, many layered and the whole is more than the sum of its parts. This is true of good music as well.
I know this has no real bearings on what the goal set of my blogs are, but sometimes I just want to rant and not talk about specifics. Happy day to all
