One night at a hotel bar in Texas, someone told me the story of a man who for years made audio recordings of all his favorite sounds: trains passing through town at night, wind in the trees, crashing ocean waves, fire crackling in a fireplace, certain birds, rain on the roof… He did it so that if he ever became very sick and incapacitated, he could listen to those sounds to remind himself of the things in life worth loving and holding onto.
