The Sound of Silence

The country roads near my home are a true retreat from the noise of the modern world.?

Unplugged. Unapologetic.

In the solitude, I find:

Movement One step at a time. Mindfulness

Free from distractions, my thoughts settle like the dust on the gravel road.

Hormones

Oh yes. The good… Endorphins dance, making me grateful for the intricate chemistry of my body. The gnarly… If we’re of the same cohort, you know what I mean.

Harmony

With nature, with myself, and with the memories of those I miss.

The wonderful, wonky world of our mind is a fascinating place.?

The Sound of Silence

It's not an oxymoron. It’s not irony. Silence is the space between the notes in life’s symphony. Unplugged, I heard the birds chirping, my feet crunching on gravel, and even the persistent buzz of a mosquito—each sound a unique part of my silence.

let’s not forget the voice in my head…?

What do you hear when you unplug??

Do you even unplug??

With technology tethering us to constant noise, taking a break is crucial.

Here’s some of what I heard today:

You’re doing the best you can.

It’s OK to cry, to mourn, and to remember your loved ones.

It’s time to renovate that birdfeeder into the fairy house you’ve been dreaming about for years. What’s stopping you?

Oh, my knee… but it’s okay. You’re moving. That’s the sound of silence—ha ha ha.

What do you hear when you unplug the noise of the modern world?
