There’s a constant drone in an airplane.
If you remove your headphones, you can listen to it.
But inevitably you will stop hearing it.
Until there’s a change in the frequency, the timbre of the sound.
Then there’s that feeling in your tummy. Why did the sound change?
You steal a few furtive glances at the other passengers nearby. Did anybody else notice?
You look out the window.
Into darkness.
Nothing else changes.
Nobody seems to notice. All staring at screens or trying to sleep.
Back to normal. As normal as possible at 35,000 feet.
You sit back.
Listen to that constant drone.
It becomes comforting.
Imagine if it disappeared.
Ok I don’t really know where that came from. I watched a movie (Taken 3) and then started another one (Foxcatcher) but then I became incredibly tired and tried to nap. Couldn’t nap. So out came the iPhone and this is the result.
This post is for Justine’s Ecelctic Corner #11 – Momentarily. Last week, we shared a photo for momentarily. This week we share a written piece. Next week will be a quotation.
I have also been nominated by Pommepal at Gypsy Life to post 5 photos over 5 days, with accompanying stories/musings/notes and also nominations for others to join the event.
This is day 2.
I’ve participated in this event a few times before and I quite enjoy coming up with something new each day and I really like trying to write something new as well. I haven’t managed to write something today, as I am travelling and don’t have a lot of time, but I will over the next 4 posts for this event.
Given that I’ve done this before and nominated a number of people before, I would like to just open the nominatinos to anyone who would like to join the event. It’s fun and challenging to find something each day. It can be useful to pick a theme for your 5 photos (eg black&white or portraits or architecture, etc). If you feel inclined, please join in.
