Do you listen?

crickets ~

 

This time of year?


I don't think so...

 

Silence is Golden

 

Let’s hear All about it

 

i listen to the sound of one hand clapping, but i've also learned how to duck

 

The ear has tiny little bones

 

lol

I was thinking of doing one hand, one clap push ups as part of my workout to hear what that sounds like.

As for the thread title. I seem to do little of each, thank gawd.

 

Do you hear the sound of bells?

 

Not bells. I hear ringing but not bells, just a ping.. And then different frequency of ping and cicadas and Morse code and omg I hate this tinnitus!

 

Q.....Do I Listen.??

A.....If It Suits Me.....All My Life Peeps Have Told Me That I Have "Selective Hearing"......If Somebody

Is Saying Something I Don't Want To Hear.....Then I Just Don't Hear It......Friends Used To Laugh

About It.....But It Didn't Worry Me......I Couldn't Hear Their Laughter.....

all i get is a steady tone. usually an f#/gb or a, somewhere in the neighborhood of those frequencies.
doesn't happen often and i actually kind of like it.

life IS to short to waste it listening to the same cleche lies being constantly repeated.
if someone is saying something new to me, or in a creative and imaginative way i haven't heard before, that gets my attention.
and i don't usually want to make anyone feel bad, unless they're getting on my nerves, or seem to be intentionally harassing me.

no one needs that, and i damd sure don't.
as for waiting to say something, sure, sometimes, when i feel like participating.

i want to say things that will give people ideas, jump start their own imaginations.
i'm frequently not good at judging this.

 

Looks like mum is the word

 

i like listening to the rain. and to trains going by.

 

I personally would rather listen than speak. The only bad part is what you hear. Animal chatter is nice also.

 

Where I Lived Up Until 4 Years Ago Was Within Hearing Distance Of Trains.....Yes.....Rains And Trains.....

...I Still Get The Rains.....But I Sure As Hell Miss The Trains.....But I Guess The Abundant Birdlife Here

Has Made Up For That......

Nothing However Can Replace The Sound Of A Steam Locomotive......They Live.....They Breathe....

No Modern Day Engines Can Compete.....



Cheers Glen.

 

my listener is oof

 

Depends on the situation

 

I do both. But often when I am talkative I end up wishing I'd said less.
So over time I have become more of a listener.

I dislike when there is pressure to talk. Sometimes I love just being quiet but around people. I'm envious of dogs and babies at those points. They can just hang out and no one expects them to talk.

 

there are lots of things i'd rather not listen to.
i come here to some place like this, where i can blab and people can hear or ignore me as ever they see fit.

i do though, listen to the universe, beyond where there are human voices to prevent me from doing so.

i listen to rocks and trees and feral cats.

i just prefer not to listen to people who hate logic and consideration whining about it, when the world their ignorance and indifference creates, turns around and bites them on the ass.

and they're always the furst to blame demongods or librules or technology or nature or just about anything they can dream up to imagine, instead of their own voluntary indiference.
