Sometimes quiet is as beautiful as any music. When you're in that place where you are truly absorbed in the stillness, any little noise is like thunder. I wonder how many times I can say "shhhh!" You know that state between sleeping & waking where you don't want anything to break in? Sometimes you can tiptoe in even though you're fully awake. It's a lovely place that I'm greedy for. The sound of the fan is a beautiful tune & the crickets in the basement are singing.
I was running and hiking yesterday afternoon with my ipod when all of a sudden, I couldn't handle the noise any longer. It was like thunder in my ears and I had to stop and turn it off before I could continue on. Today I am fasting from noise because there's just too much of it in my life. Silence is beautiful sometimes.
