At 4
AM this morning I awoke to a loud drone. At first I thought it was
outside, perhaps a neighbor working in his garage with a power tool, or the
night carrying the sound of a train or ship’s horn. I wanted to get back to
sleep, and decided to try to drown it out by putting on headphones and
listening to something soothing. It wasn’t working and after ten minutes, it
occurred to me that it was possible that the noise was coming from inside the
house. After checking the furnace room, and going out on the porch, I
discovered it was a sub-woofer speaker that somehow got activated and was
putting out a loud, vibrating tone.
And
so it is lately with other things that disturb my peace of mind. It’s not
enough to turn off the TV when it is spewing fear, I have to find the inside
off switch as well. When I’m upset, there is usually a low voice droning in the
back of my mind about some worry or negativity. When I notice it is when I can
do something about it - change the channel by changing my thoughts. There should be a POM
(Peace of Mind) button on the remote.
