So after the Earth hour ended...I somewhat thought about what I experienced during the 1 hour of darkness.
In a way, darkness or blindness in this case because there could be no light makes a person more aware of their senses (aside from sight) in order to protect and know what type of environment one is in. For that one hour, I too had to make sure I know where I was walking in my house though it is so called "safe", I unfortunately fell in the dark...
Though, the fall wasn't critical where it caused an injury it was still a bad experience haha. Anyways, besides the fall...
The darkness caused my hearing to be more effective. I heard my fridge, the humming noise which I usually don't hear, the loud music from my neighbour (I live in a town house), the small little unnecessary noises I usually don't hear would appear. I also have a cat, it reminds me how well a cat can move around in the dark. Probably it's not only that they can see in the dark but feel because their fur, whiskers, and paws are able to sense movement on floor or in the air.
To reflect this upon what phase 3 is about...
The sound I should choose could be similar to what I just heard during the very hour of darkness I experienced. The fact that everything we hear in the world is blinded by our busyness and carelessness. It is the little things that we miss and tend to let it slide by as if that noise/sound did not belong in our 'reality'
Yup...just a thought/idea that came up during Earth Hour. Also big thanks to Nadine for sending out the email about Earth hour being tonight or else I would've forgot haha.
Till next time...
