Hush.

Hush.

If you'll turn off that answering machine.
If you'll quit talking about car payments.
If you'll stop making lists of things you need to do.
If you'll shut the television off.
If you'll un-plug your computer.

If you'll listen.

Hush.

If you'll listen.

You'll hear music.
You'll hear the rhythm of the city.
You'll hear the birds in the backyard.
You'll hear

Indeed, sir.
That's a great portion of why I love Cape Breton so. It's a simpler place. A beautiful place. Our water source there IS a creek. We're surrounded by trees on all sides. There isn't a computer. There's no phone service. You're left alone with your thoughts and the sounds of the wind and the image of the fog rolling over the mountains. Or, you can drive down the road a bit and enjoy the salty spray of the Atlantic ocean and watch ships sail out to sea. Or, drive the other direction, and find a bagpiper at the gate of my favorite place in the world. Probably a rather good-looking piper, at that. I really need to step away from my technology security blanket sometimes when I'm here in Allen.

I didn't think you had one of these.

My mother, too, has a terrible memory. Mostly for names and faces. But numbers and jobs as well.

And sufjan stevens is the shit.
