Community Conversations

Finding Stillness in the Modern World

Our entire lives are a combination of silence and sound.  We often associate silence with the absence of noise, but silence is far more complex (and interesting) than the mere absence of auditory noise.  These days there's an unprecedented volume of noise and distraction in our ears and on our screens.  In a world of noise, how do we find silence and why might it be important for us to do so?
