What is silence? Has it become lost in this busy world we live in? Think for a moment about your day from the time the alarm clock beeps until you finally sign off your work computer and drive home. How much time in your day was actually quiet? We drive to our jobs or to college classes or to wherever our individual destinations are...is the radio/cd player on? the cell phone? How many moments can you count as being silent? Not many I'll bet!
Sometimes we need silence...with all electronic devices turned off so that we may listen to our hearts, our spirits...it's necessary for us to do this. If you're lucky enough to have a significant other....take the time (make the time) to connect ...let your hearts speak to each other...a warm cozy retreat with candlelight and the only sounds you hear are the rhythmic heartbeats...just simply be still.
This can work for those of us who are alone...just follow the same instructions and listen to the "sounds of silence." It can cleanse your heart and your mind and I feel that's something we all need.
Life and all of the people, things, situations that go with it can wear us down emotionally as well as physically. We diet, exercise, jog, work out, Zumba, etc. for our body but solitude, silence, are essential to our inner being.
Listen to #1 on my playlist.....get lost in the words...and find your own peace in the "sound of silence."
Thank you Simon and Garfunkel
