Drift Assesment #2

Two situations that stick out in my mind that were extremely peaceful are my walk to the beach and when I explored an alley. I walked to the beach on a gray day when there was still snow on the ground. I didn’t expect much because the road was really busy with cars and it was noisy. I walked to the beach and climbed down a little hill and all of a sudden I was immersed in the peacefulness of the waves slowly rolling in through the big ice flows. I couldn’t hear the cars at all. There was a flock of ducks that were swimming around in the water too. I was amazed that I could be so close to the road and be completely shut off. Another unexpected peaceful time was when I walked down an alley in the third ward. It looked intimidating but I did it anyways. Again the sounds of traffic and people died away and all I could hear was the soft humming of this air conditioning unit. I sat next to it and recorded the sound for a while. It was almost like meditation.
