The crackle of fire, when someone lifts the tab on a soda or beer can, the ping of the email notification - each part of the auditory cues, comforts and warnings that help to direct our days on this planet.
I think the sound of knitting needles clicking will always bring my mother to mind, even long after she no longer inhabits the space I call "Mom."
Recently someone brought up the Doppler effect- the difference in sound of something as it approaches and as it moves away from a person. To this I would add the difference in the sound of a door latch when it's being opened and when it's being closed. Sometimes, though, it's hard to know the difference. Is this the end or is it the beginning?
