Two Words :: Be Quiet

We live in a place full of sound, both natural and man made, and in this 24 hour a day cable news channel world, we hear much more than we can take in. It all is a jumble on some days as we strive to stay on top our own little worlds of work and school and life. In all of this, we are talking and listening to others gab all day long. The cell phone rings, the radio blares, the television spews advertising slogans, trucks roar by, planes fly overhead ... noise, noise and more noise.

One of the best things you can do for yourself (and others in some cases), it just be quiet. Take an hour and turn everything off. Sit in your back yard or find a quiet spot on some sand dune and just be quiet for awhile. Give your ears a break. Stop having to listen to the hurricane of noise that surrounds you. Quiet your thoughts, quiet your mind and let quiet rule.
