A World in Balance

Wise words indeed. In the busyness of our modern world groaning with the weight of iphones, computers and modern technology, I think many of us forget the value of silence.

Just sitting without artificial sound and the chatter of our busy minds, many of us can’t tolerate the ‘sound’ of silence, but if we truly zone out and rest in nature, we can expand our consciousness to an appreciation of its peace and calm.

Personally, I couldn’t do without my morning breaks staring out the window listening to the wind in the treetops and the faint chatter of birds. Sometimes I seem to drift off, eyes wide open, mind at rest and then suddenly ‘awaken’ and see that 2-3 hours has passed by and I feel rejuvenated to start the rest of my day.

I do think it takes some practice to develop this quiet mind and space though.
