I walked my dog after dark tonight, without music or a podcast. It was a nice silence. When we entered the park I had this surreal appreciation of the world's wonder. I could see the sky moving as the wind blew the clouds toward the horizon. Towering trees hundreds of feet tall encircled us. I thought to myself: we're on this huge floating sphere and there's things growing on it and there's stuff walking around. How incredible? Even in a 'mundane' suburban public park you can appreciate Earth's majesty. It just requires some silence. Don't break it. Hold it and feast.
