Curiously Silent

A curious silence today. I left my mobile phone at home. Not that i use it everday necessarily, but it's not there, all orange, silver plastic and glass. It leaves me with a strange silence, and a little voice in my mind wondering what i've missed, who might've called. I guess it could be quite traumatic for some people. I'm just relaxing into it, but it is like leaving a finger at home. There is an interesting silence in the part of me that waits for someone exciting to call, something interesting to happen and be communicated. I guess i've never really had a good look at that corner of myself, even though i've been aware of that tendancy at times.

What would happen if one day all the mobiles went silent? Some sun flare or such and they all go out. Pandemonium? Gnashing of teeth? Global anxiety attack? A feeling of peace? A collective sigh? Nothing much different at all?

Except perhaps a curious silence.
