Thursday Two Questions Meme - Be Silent

Silence is a source of great strength - Lao Tzu

In this day and age where everyone is busy each moment of everyday there is little time to just stop, relax and be silent.  However in order to truly be who we really are we need to take that time to look within and take hold of our spirit.

My two questions this week are:

1. Do you take the time to be silent each day?
2. Is it through prayer, meditation or otherwise that you get in touch with your innermost feelings?

1) I love to be in total silent early in the morning, and through out the day most of the time..This is when I can hear my thought undisturbed.

2) Before turning in for bed, I say a little prayer by just going outside.

I crave silence at times. Hubby has a hearing problem so the volume in our home is quite high most the time. I want to once in awhile be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes I go for a ride and just leave the radio off.

I did today took time to just hear nothing and say nothing. Usually, I try to turn the radio off and be silent the last five minutes before my car rolls into work's garage, and five minutes before my car rolls into my own house garage.
I think it is true what you say in number two. I do think that silence is actually strength.

I usually start my day with a little quiet time before the days activities begin. My favorite form of quiet time is to take a long walk in our local park, away from the playground and other busy places. Nature is the best meditation I have ever found.

I get the most peace and quiet soaking in the bathtub. That's when I tend to reflect and think about things.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
