10 minutes of silence

This is my 10 minutes of silence writing. At first it seemed quiet and serene in this room, but after a few seconds i notice how loud this lack of noise really is. I hear birds chirping. I've never realized how much I hate the birds that fly so gracefully around my house. There are people mowing their nasty brown yards outside. I can hear the vibrations of the mower going over every blade of grass. My mom is running water for the dishes now, I can hear the steady stream of water as she gets all of it prepared. Even the simple clicking of the clock that hangs on my wall is driving me crazy. It is a slow stubborn tick that is digging at my brain scooping out all the thoughts of silence.
I never thought about how much noise should be enjoyed. Without the hectic and blaring noises of daily life, everyone would concentrate more on the little sounds. Can you imagine thinking only about those annoying and brain splitting sounds? Not me thats for sure.
