Silence is an Artform Itself, for some Writers

I prefer silence for writing in order not be distracted or influenced by irrelevant sound. Actually I've spent a lot of time in rural Alaska where I can hear an engine two miles distant or a rifle shot five miles away. In a quiet ecosystem one can listen to nature much better. Silence allows one to listen for danger; .e.g. a brown bear approaching quietly or of other interesting life. One may awaken with a whale snoring or in the morning with an exhalation. The raven's intelligent sounds in a tree above a tent. When one has a writing tool for writing words it seems good to imagine the distant places and cities where humans dwell, and the sounds of their machines, as strange phenomenalities temporally on the Earth. Eventually the time for writing ends and one must rejoin the world of Golden Arches and carbon monoxide.
