Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall. - Fulton J. SheenLeisure is what I seek, the perfect silence, the kind of silence that can only comes from inside. This perfection is not hard to find, but is hard to sustain. We live in a world of noise; TV, MP3’s, Laptops, handhelds and husbands.
So I take it in as often as I can. On my drive to and from work, in a hot shower, in the moments in bed right before falling asleep; the morning air as I walk out the door; or the instances I find myself home alone listening to the nothingness. I breathe in the beautiful leisurely silence.
I continue to seek and openly embrace any chance of silence I can find.
