Intrusion and Noise

I really do not have anything in particular to write about tonight.  But, I have discovered that when that is the case, if I turn off the TV and other ambient noise makers, I can say something.

How many of us are able to be with ourselves, without intrusive noise distracting us?

How many of us can meditate on internal thoughts, internal centers?

I have been known to say that I enjoy listening to the grass grow. And, I do. Which is a stretch for someone who knows me at work, and sees a goal directed, ever working person, always taking in the cues and clues from the environment.  

I can be calm. I can enjoy idyllic, pastoral settings, with little information or input from the surrounding world. I know how to slow down. Sometimes, it takes extreme effort to do so. But, when I do, I am blessed.
