[MarshaV]

Greetings SA,

Formal meditation is in silence.  There are also long periods of 
silence throughout the day.  Remember there is no one in my life to 
make noise besides a little dog and four cats.  I listen to the birds 
when I'm out, and occasionally hear a fish jump. There are no other 
people living with me.  No job with co-workers.   I'm out a few days 
a year because of voting business.  I spend one day playing with my 
grandson (lately Legos).  And I must shop for food, etc.  There is 
plenty of silence.  But I do love music.  It is a gift.

Marsha
