Silence may or may not be golden. You may be hungry for a little bit of silence or terrified of the quiet. Silence can be deafening, but it all depends on the circumstances.
Often the noise of the world and all that is going on can be overwhelming. We may all have moments when we are on information overload. We can’t take any more and we have to turn off the television, the social media, text messages and so on. Almost daily I block three or four phone numbers who are sending me more and more unrequested information.
Our lives can be noisy and cluttered. We may have vocational overload plus home noise that we deal with daily. You may have a house filled with children and lots of other relatives you hear from daily. You may be involved at church or have other social connections that fill up your life. Your quiet moments may be rare. You long for a quiet peaceful day that seems to be far removed from you.
