Shhhhh

No matter how hard we try, I don't think there are five channels in our brains to process all the noise / chatter /conversation / music and sounds that surround us these days.  While I want to absorb the breadth and depth of what is happening, I just need some quiet.  Do you?

I'm going to turn out the light in the room, watch the flicker of the flame and see the gentle flakes of snow following outside.  

Then in the quiet I can reflect, slow my breathing, and let things settle before the work of the day begins.
