Is golden, or is it deafening? As I sit here in the wee hours of the morning at the computer downloading photographs the only sound is the fan on the computer and the ice machine in the freezer. It is then that I hear myDarlin’Robert Kenui Pope say Baby, are you coming to bed? But it is just a dream as I dozed off for a moment.
I open the back door and hear the crickets chirping, an airplane flying by and a train in the distance. And while this silence is wonderful, I love the sound of myDarlin’s voice and music he played. I love the sound of the band as they play into the night and the chatter of all of us as we break down and pack out, and then head over to Waffle House for more conversation and laughter.
I play a video clip shot a few years back of myDarlin’ and Kawika playing basketball hoops game and although the visual is very poor, it is one of the best ever. One hears both of them laughing and having a great time together and that is precious. I close my eyes and play another video of him singing Follow Me with Kona and am comforted by the sound of his voice.
I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful memories of the sounds of silence, laughter, music, conversation, eggs sizzling in the pan, coffee (decaf of course) brewing and kisses. And I close my eyes once more, listening to myDarlin’ sing as I drift off to sleep for the until morning’s light streams through my window.
