I was prepared to say “Nothing.” Then I listened. I hear fluorescent lights buzzing, a dog barking in the distance. The birds are leaving for work. I love that. Croc, my big dog is snoring. We need to get him a CPAP. Bud is also snoring back in the bedroom. Izzy is barking and running a bit in his dreams. My leather chair is creaking with my movements. I suppose I am listening to a lot of life.

Both boys stirred when I got photos so they are listening, too.
