Silence

Silence is something very important in our life. To have a quiet time all alone is necessary. For some it can be a short time and not that often, but for others very frequent.

The need of silence is changing in your life I suppose. When I was younger it seemed that I did not need very much.
When I was in Ireland back in the 80s, we came to the very south west part of Ireland where nature is breathtaking.
The cliffs plunged into the sea and the grass is incredibly green.

At this place some of the people that I was travelling with sat down and admired the view in total silence. So did I but not for long. I felt that I wanted to walk around take pictures, see new things, take notes etc.

Silence is important and it is in silence we can hear God's voice speaking to us.

Nowadays I measure how good my relationship to a friend is on how long time you can be together in silence before it feels uncomfortable.
Just think of how uneasy it was in the beginning you met your spouse, and hopefully now after some time you feel easy to be together in silence.
