Jean-Hans Arp once said:
"Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity for the essence of life, contemplation,meditation."
Those of us that have ever sat quietly in a mountain meadow, or a forest glen, or camped out on the desert, can attest that if we live in the cities, silence can be a stranger; something to get used to; and once accomplished, when we are more centered organisms, we mourn its loss as we edge back into the metropolis.
