“Several times a day, stop and just listen. Open your hearing 360 degrees, as if your ears were giant radar dishes. Listen to the obvious sounds, and the subtle soundsin your body, in the room, in the building, and outside. Listen as if you had just landed from a foreign planet and didnt know what was making these sounds. See if you can hear all sounds as music being played just for you. Even in what is called silence there is sound. To hear such subtle sound, the mind must be very quiet.” IfsKnowsMindBodySoundRoomsSilenceBuildingPlanetsListeningQuietDegreesMusic IsEarsObviousHearingYour BodyGiantsSubtleDishesJust ListenRadarBeing Played Author:Jan Chozen Bays

“I definitely prefer things to be dark, I definitely prefer things to not be particularly obvious. I like a lot of mystery in music, and I like it when things don't sound just like what they sound like always. But at the same time I like everything to sound very earnest and honest.

“He appeared to enjoy beyond everything the sound of his own voice. I couldn't wonder at that, for it was mellow and full and gave great importance to every word he uttered. He listened to himself with obvious satisfaction and sometimes gently beat time to his own music with his head or rounded a sentence with his hand.” SometimesHandsFunnyEnjoySoundVoiceWonderBeatsHumorousImportanceSatisfactionObviousSentencesMellow Book:Bleak House Source: Bleak House
“It seemed to me the basic definition of mental illness, this persistent, painful inability to simply be with someone else. It might be lifelong, or it might descend like a sudden catastrophe, this blankness between ourselves and the rest of the world. The blankness might not even be obvious to others. But on our side of that severed connection, it was hell, a life lived behind glass. The only difference between mild depression and severe schizophrenia was the amount of sound and air that seeped in.” WorldMightSoundSidesDifferencesBehindsHellAirAmountConnectionsMental HealthGlassesDefinitionsPainfulIllnessObviousMental IllnessSevereCatastropheInabilityPersistentLifelongSchizophreniaBlankness Author:Tracy Thompson
