Run Away

Why do we so often fear silence and stillness? 

   

            Our lives are filled with constant noise.

     What are we afraid of, if we really stopped and listened... 

              to our selves, to the world, to the silence,

      what are we afraid we'll hear?

Run away, even for an hour or a day.

    Get away, and listen more deeply.

  Find a place, of peace, of quiet

    Far from all the noise and all the lying

     You might be surprised what you discover

        Real life somewhere deep under all that covers

Run away, even for an hour or a day.

    Stop.  Listen.  Be.

  You might be suprised at what you see.

Glimpse the world as it can be.
