today, part 1 - "issues with noise"
morning...
on the bus...
the woman behind me has been on her cell phone
since before we boarded...
she is talking non-stop,
loudly...
i turn,
"please...SHUT-UP!"
midday...
i am in a meeting...
animated,
sometimes heated
disussion...
we are told
to ignore
a pre-planned
fire-alarm drill...
the alarms ring and stop,
and ring and stop,
and ring...
i yell
"arrrhg!" mid-sentence.
evening...
i'm in chapters
the phone is ringing
somewhere on the floor...
it rings,
and rings,
and rings,
and rings,
and rings,
and rings...
i pick up the receiver,
and shout into it,
"there is nobody here!"
that was my day...
sorta...
the woman,
the fire-drill,
the irritating ringing phones...
they happened....
my responses...
...only in my mind....

the woman on the bus, and the fire drills, I've been there way too many times when I lived in the city...here's to a much quieter day tomorrow.
The woman on the bus,ringing phones, oh yes, so with you there. Music playing much too loudly, the incessant cracking of gum and jackhammers--oh. my. noises.
Peace, Be Still :)
Maddening.
This was my day yesterday!
I got home I just couldn't find the silence I wanted.
It is maddening.
