Can we "Listen to the Silence"?
Is there a silence to be listened to?
In the "normality" of our days, which, alas, are getting less and less "normal"... silence does not exist, except perhaps during the night hours, at least for those who live in some quiet areas ...
It is true that, especially when and where you are more in contact with nature, there is a greater tranquility...
But silence? It’s a very rare thing...
Then, we can already think about the fact that there are normally noises around us, and that there are noises and noises...
Natural noises have a calming effect on our mind and nervous system... usually ... not always... As far as me, for instance, the continuous chirping of cicadas during the hot summer days is annoying... But, perhaps, it is rather the great heat disturbing me, making me more intolerant...
Always generalizing, the noise of human activities, unlike natural noises, normally annoys, stresses fraying our mind/body system…
We don’t all have the same reactions to sounds and noises, as to any other kind of sensory stress ...
But all of us, everywhere and anyway, can practice the “Listening of the Silence” ...
How is that possible?
It looks as a total contradiction...
It does look ...
Silence is, in fact, and first of all, the silence of our thoughts... the quietness of our mind...
Even in the middle of the worst noises, we all can practice silence and learn to listen to the Silence...
Keep following these scattered crumbs... they bring Far… and Near, at the same time...
Let’s follow the way of the soul…
Have a great Journey dearest soul-friend...
