I’m sitting in my screened in porch, listening to the much needed rain, the music of the birds and once in awhile some traffic and just allowing myself to be in the moment. Steady rain especially after a really dry period is cleansing, it clears the air and makes sweet and breathable. There’s a serenity that’s surrounded me.
Today’s world has become increasingly more chaotic and the vitriol that constantly envelops us is overwhelming. What has happened to us? (This is a rhetorical question). We no longer listen to each other, we argue for the sake of arguing, it’s “my way or the highway “ mentality and that’s an exhausting way to live. There are times that even I have gone down that path and then there are moments where I just walk away choosing not to engage. It’s disheartening.
How can we not be sad at our world?
Personally, I’ve gotten into truly listening to the songs of the birds in my backyard, as well as binaural beats (some kinda musical tones that calm the mind). It helps me focus on finding my inner serenity and for a little while calm the chaos of the world.
Now more than ever we need mechanisms to enable us to locate the serenity within ourselves.
Find your serenity through the music of nature, the quiet of color changing leaves, meditative music, binaural sounds, what works for me may not be the best for you but I’m asking you to try.
HAPPY AUTUMN!
