The older I get, the more I appreciate and enjoy silence. I don't really get full silence where I live, since there the constant hum of traffic outside and other ambient noises that make up the environment around me. But I love the quiet times, especially late at night when everyone else is asleep.
Silence is calming. Silence is soothing. Silence is expansive.
Silence helps me be still. It reminds me to stop scurrying around like a rat in a maze all day long and take some time to breathe and reflect.
Silence feels nurturing. It is a warm blanket of protection, providing a shield from the constant bombardment of other people's energies and verbal expressions.
Silence is also good for you. So try a little bit of silence today.
is late in the night. But now I get very exhausted with the kids and the job. But I try to get up early in the morning so that i can get some quiet time. That gives me the energy to deal with everyone else the rest of the day
It's important to rest in silence regularly. Sometimes it's easiest to get quiet when there are slight background noises, like wind, birds, or humming traffic, to focus on.
When we visit the city, I really enjoy the hum of traffic and street noises. They are a kind of almost silence that relaxes me. It's odd that I grew up in the country and I miss the city, as I find it more relaxing in its non-silent silence.
