Reading about sound walking reminded me of John Cage's 4'33".

Did you hear that? Silence is never truly silent and both John Cage's piece and sound walking intend to raise awareness of this fact.
The hum of the A/C, the typing of fellow editing lab patrons, my own breath. All these sounds are present around me and have been for a while, but it was only after focusing in on them that I even realized they were there.
Interesting and very pertinent to the readings, but you should be addressing the readings, as well as bringing up examples like this one. Keep in mind, too, that your blog posts should be around 400 words.
