a year of silence

4/17/14

  One side effect of my year in silence is that i'm riding my bicycle a lot more. This was initially done out of economic necessity rather than as an effort to make my day to day transportation more quiet.
  When you attempt to make art, unexpected things often happen. Sometimes bad things, like financial obliteration or unwanted police presence. Sometimes good things, like a kind review or a life altering discovery.
  I didn't realize how noisy the world was until i started to be quiet. I didn't realize how much i hated driving a car until i started riding my bicycle.
