What do you hear? Can you hear anything with that brain of yours babbling away inside your head like some talk radio dj who gets paid by the word? Does your mind drown out the rest of the world?
We spend a lot of time and money trying to drown out all the external noise that comes with modern society – cars, noisy neighbors, angry yelling, crying babies, barking dogs, and whatever style of music the generation after ours likes to listen to. Quietness is something we value highly, for obvious reasons…
But how often do we, ourselves, be quiet and let the loudest noise of all, our own thoughts, receed? How often do we really listen to the sounds of the world? And, how much of what the world has to say do we really hear?
Do you think you could go a whole day without talking, and only listening? A week?

life is such a mad rush these days. Liking solitude and quiet reflection, the bustle and hustle of life gets to me at times.

How much of you mad rush comes from you? You can only get so far in getting away from the crazy pace of the world, but you can completely get away from the crazy pace of your mind
