I do enjoy quiet times to myself, but even then my mind is usually not silent. It is often mulling over assorted details of my existence, seeking interesting information off the web or streaming from the flat screen. I can get quiet inside and out if I am looking at beautiful nature.
Stream of Consciousness Saturday, #SOCS, is hosted by Linda G Hill. The prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “silent/silence.” Use one or both in your post.

Great image. It’s hard to find silence these days. Certainly none around here, too much traffic and too many people. Not as noisy, certainly, as NYC, but still, never silent.

It is therapeutic and very essential for us and I don’t think we realize it because we are so busy being distracted by other things.

Nature silences the chatter of the mind and focuses our attention on the gifts of the present.
