QUIET!!!! I SAID QUIET !!!!!!!!!!

It's time to turn off the televsion. Turn off the music. Sometimes, just once in awhile listen to the quiet. Take in the peace. Let your thoughts flow uninterrupted by the polution of noise.

Are you afraid of the quiet? Some people are. They don't know what to do if there isn't some noise in the room with them. They don't like the feeling of being alone.

What's wrong with being alone? Is it some sort of disease?

Sadly, society has become noise mongers. Everything from telephones to televisions shout noise. Even people who have on ear plugs still plague us with their noise. Can't anyone just be quiet?

Everything talks to us these days. Our cars speak. Computers speak, even microwave ovens are beginning to talk. Where's the peace? The quiet?

Gone the way of rockers and porch swings I guess.

So important. I remember when I used to drive about 100 miles home from Ph.D. school at the end of a regular weekend gathering. I would turn off the radio the whole ride, and be amazed at all that was in the silence. Silence was truly golden. As is being alone. Much different than being lonely.

Thanks for the reminder, zola.

Our lives are sooo busy and full, we need to turn the world off if only for a few golden moments!
