We are constantly going..going..never slowing down. Not a minute to waste. Even walking or driving from one destination to another..we make unnecessary phone calls..or put on our favorite music. No moment of silence. No practicing of peace. So many noises, so many distractions, and we wonder why we can't hear the screams of young children. Or see the cries of a broken nation. Always busy not a moment to waste or even a moment to notice. Do we fear silence, do we fear noticing the pain...because then..it becomes a reality. A reality so true that we can not distract our minds from it. So why dear friends...why the unnecessary calls...why the extra noises...why not choose silence today...

And you might be amazed of the "noises" you can hear.
