Silence
Written in 2011 and kept as it was, so some of it will have aged.
Real, unadulterated silence is a rare thing. Today we managed to snatch a few minutes of it after kayaking through a grotto in Halong Bay and emerging in a sheltered, secluded lagoon with nobody else around.
It seems silly to tarnish the memory of true silence with additional words, so I don’t think I will.
