Beautiful Silence (Tanka)

Beautiful silence–

A sweet song so seldom heard

Drowned by modern life

Our zeal for technology

Is making us numb

  1. Tres magnifique;). Right now, big P is watching a basketball game on his IPad. And another basketball game on the tv. Oyvay!! March Madness is here. Silence does not exist at this time of year.

    • I’m as bad as everyone else, computers (more than one), cell phones (I carry 2 when I’m at work), my Kindle, my iPod and of course the TV going in the background. I think it might be time to turn off a few thing once in a while. :)

      • I suppose that I am a geek of sorts. I have even more gadgets that I didn’t mention, but I do tech for a living and have for about 30 years or so (god I sound old), but hey…what are you going to do. :)

      • I’ve tried to convince my wife for the last 25 or so years that I am not a geek, but neither she nor my children are buying any of it. I guess that it is just a badge I will have to wear with pride. :)
