the noise

We had a community Monday meal this evening where we all get together and enjoy one another and have great food, conversation, and sometimes games. Usually the food is always great. Tonight was no exception. A big piece of red meat never makes me too angry. It was delicious. I am spending the rest of the night reflecting and reading.

I am finding that I have become more sensitive to noise as a result of living in the city. I do not like hearing every car that goes by and every person that walks down the street talking to someone. I'm not sure how people live in the city for a long period of time. All of this noise and distraction make me want to retreat to the wilderness in search of peace and quiet. People are great, but sometimes I feel that everyone needs to get away and experience the beauty of what God created. The scenery and lanscapes here are so amazing. I could spend weeks out in the woods and mountains here. I absolutely love all of the natural beauty here. It does something inside you to be close to the mountains. It makes you feel so much smaller it humbles you in a way. God is so big and can do anything at any moment.

    Ry - i agree "the noise" interferes with focus. I am very sensitive to cars (as you know living by a highway is a constant reminder of how fast life is going.) In today's world, we must all make an effort to slow down and listen.
