The stories I carry

My big noise-cancelling headphones perpetually cover my ears. I had them on when I was working in an open office and commuting to and from work, too. They stayed on as an extended body part since the lockdown. Working from home, walking outside cautiously ... music soothed me and headphones protected me (by covering more of my body from the virus!). I did "move as though your body is a sound sensor" as my first dérive and moved with the wind. I was so surprised that I had been missing out on so many beautiful and interesting sounds around me. This rustling sound of fallen elm leaves sounding like the ocean is just one of them.
