Silence and Dhyana

[Guest guest]

Most of my life I would see people who insisted on N-O-I-S-E. They

seemed terrified of peace and stillness, or to be alone with their

precious inner self.

I've always found my " little vacations from distractions " refreshing.

Many people seem to seek 100-mile-an-hour " noise and activity fest "

for refuge. I always would find joy and peace in nature and natural

things.

I hear that suffering can be an excellent incentive for one to seek

inner peace.

 

When I mention my " childhood from hell " ; it's not that I'm seeking

pity (Hell, that Hell is long gone! )....

When I give my daily gratitudes, I am truly thankful for my childhood-

from-hell...it encouraged me to seek the inner self.

What appears evil is not always so!

Just a few thoughts from my part of the universe...

Blessings to all of you!
