When you’re in a place of natural silence, you’re not alone, and you can feel it. Whether it’s birdcalls from miles away or the proximity of a giant tree whose warm tones you can feel, there’s a presence, It’s a quieting experience.

100%! I even love silence in my home. No TV, no music. No conversation. And then my refrigerator’s motor chimes in. Argh.
Lets you know it’s cool and getting cooler. Not too much of a sacrifice when it results in ice cream. Good taste can withstand some noise pollution.
