Practicing Silence

I lost my voice this week. I haven't spoken since Sunday. I've certainly tried to speak in frenzied whispers wanting very much to be heard.

The very very frustrating thing is I had a lot to say. On Sunday, I worked myself up about a list of things that built all weekend long and I was ready to let loose. I made my list of people that would finally hear me out! They would listen, they would hear me.

Ha Ha- no they can't hear me.

I'm not always the type to make everything connect with what's going on with me spiritually or maybe I am. If so, what do you think this tells me about how I've been listening?

It also made me think about how much noise I add to my life. I spent yesterday here in my house trying to talk, frustrated that there wasn't anything on my antenna tv but judge shows, and I didn't even nap without a movie playing.
Maybe there's so much noise and so much speaking that I don't give myself the chance to listen or to be creative or to really express myself.
