It’s too Noisy!!!

Here’s an awesome article about the importance of quiet in our lives.  As things have gotten noisier and busier and we’re experiencing sensory overload it’s become clear that humans need to have moments of reflection and meditation.  It is not just a luxury but a requirement for health and intellectual expansion.  It seems like these days if one isn’t constantly texting or running one’s children from one event to another then one isn’t productive but I think it’s the contrary.  We run like hamsters on a wheel and neither us nor the hamsters are getting anywhere.
