listening to silence

it is 2:30am right now and i am reading Benjamin Franklin's "Autobiography" for a report, but got tired of it and remembered Mr. Armstrong saying "sit down on the floor when there's no one and try to listen to the silence." since everyone in my family is asleep, i thought why not?

so i sat on the floor with the yoga kind of pose, closed my eyes and tried to listen.
the things i heard were the clock tik-toking, the rain hitting my window, some kind of machine making a noise (i think it was my computer), the water going down the drain, and that wired high tone sound you hear when it is absolutely silent.
i usually don't notice the clock ticking, or that weird high tone sound.
it was interesting.

now that i've got my brain switched on once again, i'm going back to reading my book..
bye

p.s.
try doing the same thing! i'd love to know what YOU heard in your room/house in complete silence :)
