dial tone

From a RadioLab podcast*, a boy abused at home and at school, blind on top of it all (as if he didn't have enough to deal with) found comfort in listening to the dial tone on the phone. Something he could count on to be there. Steady.

We find things to find comfort in. Human nature. Sad but also hopeful.
