I always wanted to be in a quiet place. Every night, I always dream that I am in a quiet place and I am free to talk to God face to face and its just the two of us. Its a great feeling to be in a very quiet place right? You are free to dream, you have all the time in the world to plan everything. Its amazing! What's the place you wanted to be at this very moment of your life? Can I go with you? If only, minors are allowed. I was just kidding. HAHAHA!

Hi edss! I think during night, when most of the activities come to a half, once could feel the peace. You could go to a forest or a hill top, where there is no disturbance and could have a dialogue with the Great God. If I plan to go to a hill top, you could accompany me.

You see if you want complete peace, then you need to go alone because if I give you company, we will keep talking to each other. I am willing to take you with me, provided you join me to the place where I intend to go. I am sure that you won't be a burden.

dpk262006, I like your idea of going in the forest... just to listen to the sounds of whistling birds, cool nice fresh air etc.

Do you wanna accompany me? That is if you can climb on a tree , because that is my quiet place.

Too bad, I don't wanna risk it . Well, I do like going in a place that will make me feel loved, without worries of being hurt- only trees gives me that peaceful assurance..

You can be in a quiet place in your spirit and you can talk to God face to face, just the two of you. I'm sure He would be happy to do that. I go there often and He's always glad to see me.

He sure is glad to see me there, always! I know whatever it takes, I am welcome there. There are just some instances that I can't think very well and so stressed out. I am so glad He is always there to enlighten my mind! :) Thanks peavey!

I understand that. Sometimes we have to struggle with ourselves to find the quiet, but it's always there... somewhere.

Hi friend, the desire to be alone or rather, to be on your own, isn't new... It comes to each one of us from time to time. At such times, just give yourself what you want. Go away from friends and company and spend an hour meditating. Think of yourself, your life and everything. That will freshen you up and will put you back in action with the correct action plan... :) Have a good day!!!

Welcome... :) Being on your own doesn't necessarily mean being in solitude. You can be on your own even in crowd.. It is just that you're talking to yourself only and not to anyone else... Thats it!! Good luck!

I haven't tried keeping away from my friends. They just very hard to resist, but I think I will make it work this time. I need to be away even just for once for me to be able more peace in myself! Thanks for reminding me that!

my lady, Being alone inside my room is enough to give me peace and silent place. I will play a music,something instrumental in a low volume and close my eyes. Feel and listen to my heartbeat and wander to places I want to be with. Yes, I do it sometimes when I am sad. I talk with GOD silently with eyes closed as if HE is there right in front of me. I remember during my younger days, I want to be alone in a beach and listen to the waves and watched the stars while lying on the sand. I find peace and serenity in such a place. Have a good day my lady just want to share this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdxRmcgsKDQ vivo per lie ( i live for her)

Nice dream indeed. I would go to the Swiss alps and visit the places Maria and her gang- sound of music film-( I don't know if today's kids know or have heard about this film) went. It seems to me God resides there.

Haven't heard of that! You said Swiss, so probably I don't know that because I haven't been attached anything about Swiss! I will search about that.. Good for you then. It seems you like you can find inner peace in that place.

Hi edsss!! Yeah, there are just those times when I want to be in a quiet place to think and to be at peace. Sometimes I just can't think the noise, all the talking and all. Actually, here at the office, it's quiet most of the time because I'm usually alone. My boss is always somewhere out there so I get to have the office for myself. I can work at my own pace when he's not here and I can think better.

Wow! You are very lucky because your boss is not always around.

Your quiet place sounds amazing, and I wish that I was able to experience a place just like it. Instead, my dreams are mainly filled full of the things which are stressful to me, so I don't enjoy my dreams as much as I might have done when I was a child. If I had the choice, I would love to go to a quiet place where there was nobody else to interrupt my thoughts. This would give me the time that I need desperately to think about exactly what I want from life, and also to think about how I'm going to get the things that I want.

Sometimes our dreams stress and pressure us very much. I'm telling you, you better take a break from that my dear.. just like what I did. Find the inner peace in you! Stay away from your friends for a while.. Have the chance to be with yourself only even just once and think about life in its simpliest ways! I hope you'll find your inner peace soon! Have a happy life my dear!

i think when i have my quiet time i am in a quiet place. sometimes it is inside the comfort room. aside from comforting myself of dislodging the bowels, the CR is the most quiet place for me to talk to God, as in talk in a loud voice. i am not talking about public CRs though.

You and I are totally opposites! The places I always think about being at are the mall, restaurants, the beach, etc. I'm a nervous person, so quiet places sometimes make me feel uneasy. I just feel lonely in them. So when I dream or envision my favorite place to be, it's always surrounded by many people! I think it has to do with me being an only child. I grew up in a house that was always quiet, so I like to be around people as much as possible.

You are right! We really are opposites! Unlike you, I'm not the only child.. Instead I am the eldest among 7 children in our family so I grew up baby sitting the six of them and I grow up with a noisy house everyday. There's always loud laughter and cry in our house that's why there are times I wish I wanted to go to a quiet place! :) I totally understand you if you don't want to be in a quiet place!

For me quiet place is my home, where you can feel the pleasure and sense the silence where you can concentrate on the things you like..

Oh yes! Sometimes, our house is so quiet when those little cute siblings of mine are gone to their school. HAHAHAHA! If they're home, surely our house will be the most noisiest in the whole neighborhood! But if you would ask what part of our house is the most quiet during day and night; I would say, its my room! :) That's where I find my inner peace sometimes!

I like to go outside at night and walk around the forest. I live in the country and have alot of quiet time to enjoy. I need it because I have three kids that can get on my nerves.

Hello bunso! I guess the only time I wanted a quite place is when I am doing some articles,lol! I don't want some interruptions when I write 'cause I mostly do some research about my article. But seriously speaking,I'll just go to my room if I want a quite place bunso or some place like a beach.

Hi nay. Of course, no one wants to be disturbed when writing articles. Me too nay. My room is the only quiet place I know here in our house.
