[1999-02-03]
In silence I lie, right now. Not absolute silence; I can hear the soft
clicking of the keyboard when I write this, and the faint humming of the
hard-disk. But the night is quiet. No traffic outside, no-one else
awake, no music from the stereo, no TV pumping information. Nothing.
I lie here in silence, both aural and visual. The faint light of the
bedside lamp is all the illumination I need to be able to write this.
And except for that lamp, silence is one with me tonight.
I lie in silence. And I enjoy the silence. I am in silence.
