Silence

Silence

It's Saturday afternoon and I am home alone, sitting here in silence.  Relishing the sounds of clocks ticking from various locations around the house. I can hear at least two, maybe three ticks all just a bit behind one another, soothing as they take turns making their own unique sound.

I'm enjoying this silence, and now a new sound is added to the ticking of the clocks, and that is the stroke of keys on the key board as I am writing this post.

It's not often that I find myself surrounded by silence.  I usually like to have the TV on or some music playing, something to liven up the joint!  Something to bring energy to the house.  Not today!  Today I am enjoying the silence.  Today I am taking time to ponder, taking time for me, taking time to enjoy Silence.

  2. Silence is precious. Most of the time in out lives we have to much noise around us. Enjoy the silence.

  3. It's so nice when it's quiet enough to actually think! Silence is fleeting...but golden!

  4. This post made me feel (and envy) your silence. With two small kids and a dog, silence is in short supply in my life. Enjoy the quiet!

  6. Most times I too have the radio or tv as background noise. But especially in the morning I crave the silence. Lovely post.
