Silence is one of those commodities which is frequently scarce these days. Too much tumolt and confusion through the masses who feel they have something meaningful to communicate.
Today is Quiet Day.
It happens annually on February 25. It is about pausing to calm down and appreciate silence as an environment into which you might immerse yourself.
Quiet is good for the peaceful coexistence of our fellows. Peacefulness helps to calm and maintain some semblance of central existence.
Other cultures go for the silent interlude in most every day. The mexican siesta, the asians and their meditation. Dave and his incessant love of naps.
Quiet Day is a time to seek that peace which lies in shutting your mouth and collecting your thoughts rather than adding to them.
