This weekend, we updated all our electronic gadgets with the latest improvements. This morning as I checked the weather on my phone, I was astounded by more than the weather. It listed today's date, reminders, etc...I found all this noisy and intrusive. For me, this was way too much information.
My first hours in the morning are for silence. I drink my coffee and just stare at the horizon, at the sunrise, or the scene in front of me. I am not focused on anything or anyone. It is my time to just be. This is breakfast for me. When I am full, I move on to the tasks of the day.
"Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
"We need silence to be able to touch souls."
~ Mother Teresa
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements halls and whispered in the sounds of silence." ~ Paul Simon
"The Inspiration You Seek
Is Already Within You.
Be Silent And Listen."
~ Rumi
