The world can be quite noisy. ha even this buddhist forum is noisy with jibber jabbering back and forth 
. Sometimes we forget about silence and how wonderful it is. Sometimes we need a reminder. And the point of this thread is to be that reminder. Don't respond to this thread. Do not have an opinion about this thread. Just take a few to your self to close your eyes and become aware of your breathing. Relax. Just be. You deserve it

Be silent still.

4. Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5. Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.
John Greenleaf Whittier
