If I close my eyes and listen. I do not hear silence. I hear the trickle of my fish tank, the curious meow from my cat, the creaks in the walls and a far away hum of city traffic. I am never alone even if I wanted to be. I can't stop the chaos of sound from entering my ears nor time to stop the lives of the people driving their noisy cars outside. I have become so accustomed to sound and that link that it has to loneliness, that when i go to my summer cottage out in the far off mountains of northern Canada, I still turn the t.v on in the background so that I can sleep. In my daily schedule I am or will meet with my boyfriend, friend, family member or aquaintence leaving me so completely not alone I sometimes avoid deep conversations. I search for silence and nothing but there is always something, someone, somewhere, and through all of it not one minute are you alone. When you think about it, even the void of loneliness when you have no one around you is simply your own intellect bored with conversateing with itself. This world is too far gone in its routines that new ideas and levels of intelligence are taking place whether we notice it or not. If there are spirits and ghosts, we are being watched all the time. We as humans watch each other, can feel the energy from that glare or glance. If there are aliens in space which I am sure there are because there is no possible way you can tell me the only intelligent life in the universe is us, Its just too big, and too unexplainable to make assumptions about.
