A quiet place . . . if it exists.

Have you ever noticed that real, truly quiet (as in silent) places are nearly non-existent? Even a seemingly quiet location often has background noise, if you take a moment to notice it. I'm honestly hard pressed, when considering this, to think of a time I've been in a truly silent location.

I don't make this point for any particular reason, except to maybe accept that the world is largely a noisy place. But honestly, quieter places, where yes, there is background noise, are still accessible. And personally, I like some of those background noises. It is soothing.
