But that consciousness, that all there is to hear is yourself, is sort
of wonderfully shocking. I used to go out into the desert (Anza
Borrego), far off the roads, and at noon, when all the animals are
sleeping and there's no wind, the silence is as absolute as I've ever
experienced. And it acquires, like, size, it becomes a presence, it's
huge. and in it there's your heart, and a little sussurus of blood, and
breathing.

I do recommend
