Silence The earth just stopped. The only explanation- Something so intense , so deafening slaps the other senses into defense. Silence - pure silence...something I have never heard... nothing... so uncommon stepping back alone and listened hard for a tell-tale sign of movement; hearing only deafening silence except now your ever-rapid beating heart. No wind, still and quiet...and for a few minutes no life till that was broken by a flutter of wings... looking up and surprised to be able to hear that crow so high which set the world back in motion. The realization of what once was common - away from the hum of machinery, electricity and mass- and becoming one with the earth rooted in the soil, a rock to observe. ~.~ (a few moments in a long-ago summer just-started working on my uncle's ranch and being left alone after completing the first few layers of a haystack while my uncle went to get another load and broke a wheel...Isn't it interesting what a few minutes shape into many years. Something I always remember.)
