Silence

With 3 kids, a dog and hubby, I LIVE for those very rare moments of silence. Some days, I intentionally stay up later then the rest of the household so that I can have that silence and the opportunity to hear myself think.

Here soon I am going to go take a nice hot bath. Silence is golden

At the risk of sounding old, this thread topic brought to mind the oldie by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and now I can't get it out of my head. Silence is golden, golden, but my eyes still see...

If I want silence, I go where I can be alone- even if it means leaving the party indoors and sitting outside for a few minutes.

If I want noise, I can always do the same thing.

Silence is all too rare in my life. Even when I travel and am by myself - hotels aren't necessarily quiet.

True silence... out in the country, the woods, on the roof of an isolated house, looking at the night sky - that is a wonderful thing. (The sounds of the wind and the night animals are not a problem - they are, in a way, part of the silence.)

I'm not really at ease in silent surroundings. The first thing i do when i enter my house or my office is to turn on my radio.

Unless the night animals are coyotes and cougars vying for territory. Then, I just have to go inside.

Yeah, but I feel safer listening to those particular bits of nature calling, when I'm safely inside my house.

Nothing like a cougar's scream to make all your hair stand up.

I have found much comfort in silence. I even have stopped listening to the radio or CD's in the car.

It is the peace of simple quiet.

Do you find comfort in it or search for the noise to create the sense of more going on?

Personally, it doesn't bother during the day but at night... that is when I find myself reaching.

I crave silence...I don't get it often. The silence of the wind tickling the leaves of the giant trees outside my window. The silence of raindrops crashing on my balcony. The silence of a cardinal singing in all its red majestic beauty. The silence of my children sleeping like angels in their beds. The silence of a flame burning from my candle on my table. The silence oh I crave it...and so much so at night...my days are just far to noise filled.
