Silence is Golden

Joy reminded me that I have not been on site very often lately.
It is that time of year again. I am working in the garden from the moment I get up until the sun goes down. Digging , moving earth, planting, mulching. All very physical and better than any gym.

I live in a small country village and during the week there are those quiet moments that refresh the soul. Moments with no sounds from neighbors, no cars going down the road, True quiet when all I hear is the wind blow, the birds sing. Sometimes not even those sounds...just pure silence.

It is important to be in the moment or the moment can be missed. And oh how I love that silence, how I crave it. Life has become so noisy with cars and lawn mowers and ATVs. I find that when I do encounter one of those moments I remember what my teachers used to say.

Silence is Golden.
