Van Gogh

The first time I heard it, I thought I was going mad or it would drive me there very  quickly.

Depression has a way of altering ones senses. You can imagine all sorts of silly things.So when the ringing in my ears started I wasn't certain it was real at all.
It may be tinnitus I reasoned and recalled Van Gogh going mad with the constant rimging or it could just be another bastard gift that depression brings.

Then one day I was reading a book by a renowned Buddhist monk and  to my surprise he too had this same gentle vibrating hum going on all the time.He even gave it a name....The Sound of Silence.So iit wasn't just me, others have it also .Some call it the Sound of God or the Sound of the Universe.

It's become a comforting sound and I choose to call it Tinkerbell.When I hear it I smile and breathe deeply and peace envelops me.

And discuss......
