Mind the silence

I love to sit and people watch. I could spend a whole day in one area just watching. It is peaceful and very relaxing. I am never in a hurry at the airports or cruise terminals.

Wonderful contemplation. We need to sit in silence once in a while and yes, let our brain do the talking.

I agree with you Valerie. People are so interesting and sometimes very funny without having them say anything to me.

The world around us is getting noisier by the day Silence is golden but can be deafening too for some. I can be alone but never feel lonely. It is good to take a breather to pause, ponder and reflect - siva

@ramapo17 I think even among couples who love each other very much, it is better to spend some time alone to understand ourselves better. I used to do that at my workplace too, go earlier than others to plan my schedules - siva

I do love silence. My husband just left, the TV is now off and I like it. I do like to sit in a public place and just watch, and sit and think too. I have never wanted an ipod or any thing like that to have constant noise in my ears.

I agree with you about the ipods or TV's. When my husband goes anywhere the tv goes off immediately. If I want noise I put on an oldies station on the tv and enjoy my favorites from the past.

You have found your inner self. From meditation and observation you can witness many wonders as a spectator looking across a room filled with people in conversation. Then there are times I only wish I could hear the silence. Unfortunately I have a serious condition called Tinnitus. Sound tends to ease the severity of this condition. I once was able to hear the silence. I have actually cried during a moment of silence. I guess I was really stressed and the tears were my way of letting go of it.

@Lucky15 , I certainly appreciate your kindness. I feel that being quiet in one's mind, is the key to inner calm and then there are times for music, laughter and of course some noise.
