“There are cases in which silence is a loud language.”
-Thomas Paine

It is a world of constant chatter, most of it signifying nothing.

The trick then, is to turn off all the devices and contrivances of the modern world and listen to the sound of silence. The spaces in our existence that are buried beneath the ruble of email, text messages, cell phones, and television. The real part.

It may be difficult at first, for we’re so used to noise being pushed at us from all directions. But silence leads to things we’d never know and places we’d never discover in the cacophony of mindless babble.

Turn off your computer and go sit for a spell…
