Sound of Silence

Why are we so afraid of silence? From the girl who likes her music so loud the cars next to her are shaking or hotel security is called- that’s a story for another time. Let’s just say MTV called the show headbangers ball for a reason. Is it not better to go through the silence and discomfort and come out the other end relaxed and extricated from the constant go, go, go energy of daily life and the constant whirling and swirling of the mind? Is it worth it to try?
