"A constant, selcouth sound like cicadas, or the surf."
--Coleman Barks, Winter Sky

I used to go to sleep to the sounds of the surf. It was a CD of waves breaking on a beach, and the soothing, repetitive swooshing drowned out some annoying ambient sounds, allowing me to drift off to the Isle of Morpheus.
