Yesterday after work, I ditched school and stayed home. I had one of the most relaxing moments ever yesterday once I got home. I went outside and I sat on my balcony and watched the sun set. I listened to tranquil music and just watched it (tuning out the cats of course) and it was awesome! While sitting out there, I tended to my new plants and I also did some yoga. I began to notice that the trees were sprouting, the flowers were beginning to bud and it was the most amazing thing I have ever held witness to. These are the things that our society misses every day! Every day we miss out on the sun setting, the trees blowing in the wind, and the scent of orange blossoms on the wind. We take these things for granted. Anyway, after that (mind you this is while I was waiting for Berek to get home I sat down and started to read, but then I noticed the silence. You know, silence is another thing that our society takes for granted. The power of silence is astounding! I was just thrilled for everything to be quiet. No phones, no music, no cats meowing, no cars racing by, no nothing. Just silence. It was so beautiful.

I just thought I'd share that experience.
