Life outside of the noise

Share Post:

If my boss walked up to me and gave me a gift in the form of a few days off to escape and experience solitude, silence, and privacy, another name for essential heart-mind-joyful well-being maintenance. I will start by sipping coffee seated on a decaying tree log among dandelions weeds in a yard alone. At the yard, my attitude is childlike when I look up, the blue sky is an eye that has noticed me, and I am an astronaut now searching for a spot way up there. I love these simple treats in the emptiness of time to manage better, even when we can not eliminate the noise. The noisy side of social media is toxic and growing exponentially. We mistake childlike in adults for childishness because of automation in our thinking; however, the beauty of childlike attitude in adults is a fully developed version of uncorrupt proof of innocence longing to give and receive love.
