Noise – What’s in a word?
Loud, bang, clamor, clatter!
Noise! It’s made up of so much chatter!
Chaos. Madness. What is real? What is fake?
All this noise; I’m not sure how much more I can Take!

Noise can be interpreted in so many different ways depending upon so many different circumstances. It can be a friend or a foe. Sometimes it’s a warning to stop! Other times it is the nudge we need to get up and go! Many times, for me, being surrounded by noise makes me feel connected to the world. The hustle and bustle of all that is around me keeps me moving, productive and energized! When I am in a pensive state of mind, longing for peace and solitude, noise plays a different role. During those times, my favorite “noise” is gentle and calming; like the low, enticing hum of a cello, or the gentle cooing of a mourning dove beckoning me from a night’s sleep. On and on it goes…noise…
What’s in this word for you? If you care to tell me, please do.
Peace and love,
Felecia
