Even In The Quietest Moments….

Within each of us there is an intense need to feel that we belong. This feeling of unity and togetherness comes through the warmth of a smile, a handshake, or a hug, through laughter and unspoken demonstrations of love. It comes in the quiet, reverent moments of soft conversation and in listening.

I took this video to emphasize the noise that we can make in the quiet.  
Even in the quietest moments the noise can be either distracting or comforting.  
For me in this video, it was comforting knowing that Ken was leading the way while I quietly followed.  
He would point out things that I should watch out for all the while guiding me, which was comforting.

Other times when I am at work, the noise can be so distracting.  As an ADD adult, I have learned over the years that I work best when I stay in my lane and stay focused. When I do this, I rock it…however when I let the noise that surrounds me enter into my lane, it usually sets me off my path.  

Different noises, different results.  Listening to sounds that bring comfort and listening to noises that bring distraction and knowing the difference…

I have always been a person who could sense another person's discomfort in a new situation and would try to fill that space with words, so that they wouldn't feel alone or unaccepted.  Over the years however, I have learned that these empty spaces of silence are ok sometimes, especially when we are with those we love and care about most.  Giving each other time to embrace the silence and just listen to the quiet sounds around us….sometimes is not only just enough, but perfect.

Love you my friends!! ❤️
