There is a lull after any event. A quiet time. It is natural. The day after Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, elections, sports events, weddings, birth, death of someone close, buying a home, car accident, our day to day lives...What is the gift of quiet?
To me, the gift of quiet is the opportunity to reflect. To gather my energy and reconnect to my center. To ground and relax.
It seems like as we progress as a species, the more constant and intense the stimuli. TV, radio, iPods, news, computers, cars, cell phones, video games, airports, etc.
Do we constantly have to be engaged and entertained?
Taking the time to be quiet is a way to balance. To take a breather, so to speak. Get clarity, organize thoughts, be at peace, hit the reset button, get perspective. And then, plunge back in.
My mood as I step back into the barrage is strong and happy. I have the energy and presence to handle whatever comes next.
Breath...
