Waves Crashing on the Beach
Personal Notes on the beach-
I went to the beach and it was awesome! I heard the waves… they sound different (sounds from the CI are digital so it’s kind of a “pfft” noise. everything is with subtle differences.) But I could differentiate the waves from the wind. I could recognize closing my car door and starting the engine in the car.
On a deeper note-
It was such a mixed feeling experience. It’s sad it sounds different but I am open to learn to hear again and I know it will be different. (This is artificial sound and it’s going to take time for my brain to adjust.) All the sounds I knew before are memories that will forever live on in my head.
My experience on the beach was a sense of deja vu… “I’ve been here and this is how it was supposed to happen.”
In March I counted down the days to my surgery by capturing sounds that took for granted and wanted to look back on and remember those sweet sounds by the video… I missed the waves that 1st day because the icebergs had not melted. This time I got them. It was unusual but all too familiar; I grew up on that beach and have played in that lake for as long as I could remember. I heard the waves crashing on the beach in my head. A memory sound and it just kept playing as I drove away. Those videos I made served there purpose.
On to discovering more sounds!!
Peace, Love, and Rock on!
