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.
