To Be Alone

This is something that goes through my head regularly. We were not born in a world of music, and of constant digital stimulus...

We were born in the silence.

I am concerned with our society being dependent on technology. I know that I am also an offender in this front, see the blogging, and see the crackberry, but, I am far less an offender than some. I try to remember what I have been taught about Mindfullness, and about being in the moment. The moment is here without the MP3 player. The moment exists with just me, and that's all. Just me.

Think about it. Does your mind get the rest it needs jumping from the lyrics of that song blaring in your ears, or texting six people in as many countries?

I doubt it.

I think that people might not know what they are missing... I think we are missing a lot... too much... the point.

We were born into the silence - maybe we belong there.

This movie was forwarded to me by Double Rainbow Goddess and I find it striking a chord within me. Maybe it will with you too.
