The noise of life is always around the corner, ready to ambush. It’s lurking in the dark bedrooms upstairs and in the expectations of my calendar. The inevitable sounds of the day hover over me like rain cloud ready to burst. Like a whale in flight, suspended above the sea before its imminent splash.
