It's funny where the mind goes in its attempt to make sense of things. Mine woke up to THE SOUND OF SILENCE. Where did it go next?

The Little Drummer Boy. Odd. Or maybe not so odd.

1965 The Sound of Silence
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
and no one dared
disturb the sound of silence

1962 The Little Drummer Boy  Written as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis
Do you hear what I hear
Do you see what I see
Do you know what I know
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
