beware the quiet noise

IMG_9395

The world is loud. Sometimes we need a break. Peace and quiet.

But, not all that is quiet is calm. Some of what we consume is nearly silent, but percussively loud. Social media. Mindless chatter. News reports. Advertisements.

Distractions and noise creep into our lives from all directions. Our phones, the break room at work, television, the latest gossip, radio — just to name a few.

We should be mindful of decibel levels and choose activities that bring peace.

Time in nature. A good book. A leisurely walk. A well-deserved nap. The “off” button.

Quiet the noise. Calm the soul.
