For many of us, hearing has become the dominant form of social interaction – I listen out for the phone calls from family, the text message alerts, the ping that tells me another funny or heart-warming video has come through from a far away friend. I’m also now playing music more, as since Martin’s death I had hardly bothered because it was a joint enjoyment and hearing like smell, can be particularly evocative.
“Who hears music, feels solitude
Robert Browning
Peopled at once.”
For as long as I'm well, am posting a pic a day to enhance these Covid-19 times of isolation and lockdown
I hadn’t thought about all the listening we’re doing now. It’s true. Your reason for not listening to music makes perfect sense to me, too.
I like the “mandala” of light and shadow in this image.
Thanks for listening Robin!
The photo was taken in London’s photographer’s gallery so I made an extra effort
