A state of stillness, calmness, and quiet in a person or place.
Snow arrived and the world grew still as the town shut down. The bridges closed and the ice and snow settled in. All was quiet. The crunching of my boots and every now and then the twittering of a bird. Amazing how quickly a place can change. The polar vortex shoved a huge bank of colder air down the entire East coast. We had a deluge of ice, sleet and snow and now the whole place was changed. Shades of black, grey and white.
Whenever I’m quiet like this for periods of time, my mind can rest and I feel like it’s been reset. Maybe it’s because I have three young boys at home. Maybe it’s because I’m too busy busy busy. Either way these resets are definitely good for me and I continually strive to get more. 🙂
How about you, do you relish the quietude or do you want to shout to break the silence?
