Silence is golden in a world that can’t stop communicating.

To be able to turn off all distracting sounds and hear nothing is a symphony to which we desire to be its conductor. In the moment of silence, we get a moment to ourselves – a rare gift for the many busybodies of today.

However, it’s easily achievable if you know how to look.

Instead of thinking in large scale terms such as needing to get away, travel, booking week long retreats… which are all great options… sans the lack of time and opportunity to do so… pay attention to each moment.

When a moment of silence arises, embrace it for all its worth.

When you’re alone in a vehicle and hit a red light, recognize this to be a moment for yourself.

The world offers many moments of silence and solitude in a day if we’re willing to surrender to them.
