When there are a thousand different voices we hear around us, there’s no wonder we find it difficult to hear our own. Silence has the potential to shed us of unwanted layers. The noise of the city dissipates, when we sit still. It strips us down to our core, ridding us of the stains left by our busy days. It allows us to take a deep breath, and remind ourselves of who we are. When we manage to find some alone time, our thoughts get organized, and we feel washed of unnecessary fears.
