Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences; all events are blessings given to us to learn from. There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.
—Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Can you relate to that? Do you have a deep place of silence? Do you think it’s possible, worth achieving?

Yes, the bible tells us “Be still, and know that I am God.” It also gives rest to our soul. What a lovely autumn picture.
I was thrilled when i found the picture. It was perfect for what I was looking for.
The woods , sitting in the sun on a cold day.
It is always with you , the deep place of silence, stop, stay still ,open your mind,be calm. It is there.
I’m glad you have it. 🙂
I am not good at silence. I fear memories that will sneak in if I don’t always have some distraction going. So, I read or play games whenever silence threatens.
we’re all different. I’m glad you have something that works for you.
I revel in peace & quiet! My walking & birding is my way of being. Here words resonate reason to me wholly.

I spend a lot of my days in silence – silence from what is happening outdoors
H and I were talking about that noise/voices that break ones silences…last week I thought there were men in my back yard as the voices were close…looked out the window and noticed they were in the other yard, 2 foot from the fence – with surveying tools.
H said a few weeks ago she thought some guys were in her upstairs living room and discovered that actually they were on the roof of the garage next door that is eye level with her living space ….
Most noises I can ID if home alone but it’s ones unexpected that grab your attention…
Yes, the unexpected ones….
I can relate to the quote. I’ve found that peace in several different places. Anything that allows me to clear my mind of the clutter.
That’s the point. For me an uncluttered mind is a lot more important than an uncluttered apartment, although I like that too. 🙂
I love that quote, and the photo you’ve chosen to accompany it.
Finally, when I quit chasing it, I’ve discovered the peace and quiet that eluded me so long.
Good! 🙂
I crave peace and quiet…I become a bear if I don’t have some. Not that that is hard to come by now. I think that came along with spending a lot of time with just myself when growing up…well, with my dogs. I had brothers at home but there came a time when they were older and out working.
I love to go to the woods…has been years since I have been in any. There is a quietness there.
I love my life now because I have plenty of peace and quiet. When I was working and things got too hectic I still carved out time for it, but it was in the middle of the night. Sleep took it on the chin. Not ideal, but necessary.
