About

"I have a student who once rented a cabin for a week on the coast of Oregon. Every morning he woke up and lay in bed listening to the sounds of waves coming ashore and rolling back to sea. Swoosh, swoosh, again and again. He told me he had never heard a more soothingsound, and that the sound itself made him feel embraced by a universal love. On his last day, he packed his car and headed to the highway, planning to spend a night on the road. Sometime after dark, he followed signs to a motel. He checked in, exhausted, and fell asleep. In the morning, he could not believe his good luck to wake one more time to the soothing rhythmic swoosh of waves. When he got out of bed and went to the window, he saw a highway with six lanes of rush-hour traffic."
