Walking in the Woods

Visual description
A man wearing glasses and a gray t-shirt takes a selfie on a dirt trail surrounded by tall green trees. The path winds through exposed tree roots and fallen leaves, with dense forest canopy overhead.
Does this trail look as quiet as it feels? Walking near my home, I felt completely removed from the city around me. The hearing person I was with told me she could hear traffic, music, doors slamming, lawnmowers, people talking, kids screaming while they played, all of it happening around us the whole time.
Being deaf gives me a deeper sense of peace out there, especially in the woods.
