NOISE

Our world is filled with noise. Everywhere you can go some sort of noise will meet you. It is an amazing constant of the planet. No matter where you turn you WILL come into contact with things like cars, radios, air cooling or heating systems, chitchatting, keys typing, electronic hums from various electronic devices, foot steps, clothes moving, birds, the wind, and the list goes on and on. I suppose the only place where you might be able to retreat from all noise is probably a soundproof room. Although, your simple presence there is probably going to contributing to some degree of noise.

So, we cannot escape it, yet there is something wonderful about silence. This is of course not a ‘true’ silence, but the closest one can get. I always think it is important to, once in awhile, stop. Whatever it is you are doing and just let the absence of movement fill the space around you. Just for a moment, stop typing, turn off the MP3 player, mute the TV and simply exist.
