Hear-motions….

By MamaJunkYard • January 7, 2005

There are certain sounds that I hear that always trigger certain emotions /sensations/reactions

Gun shots/fireworks/dogs’ bark/balloon pop

FEAR
———————————————-

Screeching tyres/my phone ringing in the dead of the night

PANIC
———————————————-

Whirring sound of ATM just before it dispenses cash

RELIEF and EXCITEMENT
———————————————-

Finger nails scraped against a blackboard/metal scraping metal

TEETH-TINGLING ANGER
———————————————-

Crying.

Not the

just- stubbed- my -toe -eyes- welling- up type of crying.

I am talking about the sound of a loved one as they break into that

gut- wrenching- deep- breathing- body- shaking- heart- trembling- speech- tangled- tears- gushing- like- rivers- type of crying.

The sound of HEART-ACHE.

I heard that yesterday.

The sound of a HEART BREAKING

and

mine broke too.

    Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

    What about sounds that bring about expressions or feelings of more positive emotions e.g. joy, peace, glowing smiles, freedom etc. The list you wrote tended to be on those emotions that are rooted in or resulting from fear or pain. I like to see your happiness too. – Jerry

    Kui Says: I guess that’s how I was feeling at the time….but the happiness is back now :-P
