Car Wash sounds especially when the car wash mechanism approaches the windshield and then fades off as it leaves the windshield. Paint rolling on a wall or canvas. The widget in a krylon spray can when you shake it, papaya when you cut it open, humming birds if you could actually hear them, but I imagine the sound to be quite fascinating. The last drops from the faucet when you turn it off, Clean feet walking on shiny wood floors. Pouring hot tea into a cup,pouring milk over a bowl of cereal, the sound of boiling water, the sound of chop sticks when one falls on the floor, the sound of cards when you shuffle them, grating parmasean cheese (yes there is a sound for that too), Nana's voice, when ice skates stop on an edge and create an ice spray (best sound ever) and ice toepicks, ujai breath and all pranayama, and of course my absolute favorite of all time....the sound of washing dishes......How "Zen"...
