Silence

Tonight, if I concentrate hard enough I can feel the silence out there. The sun has set and the only noise outside is the wind in the pines. But I have to concentrate over the TV. So many of us have some noise as a constant companion. And I know our thoughts go on under, around, over top, all of that, but what's wrong with silence? When was the last time you sat and just listened to nothing? Perhaps the noise of the street seeps in, the neighbors? Here, I can hear the pines rustling, and insects chirping. My body feels so relaxed. This place is so very of the earth. One feels so grounded, almost too grounded. Too earthy, earthy and sleepy. But I recommend sitting in silence, what do you think? Can you do it?
