Silence.

Every year snow brings the gift of silence. Lord knows how much we all can use silence in our lives. It's a peace and a calm - it's a pause. It makes you breathe deeply, and walk slowly and love gently. It takes the rush out of life, the traffic slows the down, people talk less, the music stops and we all look in one direction - out of our windows at the falling snow - wondering how it can fall so silently yet accumulate so quickly.

I think if it weren't for snowfall pausing our lives every year we would all go insane.

Silence is needed at times. It helps us get acquainted better with our inner selves :-)

I do love it when I take the dogs out in the evening and the heavy snowfall has brought a hush over the entire world. Well, my little part of the world anyway.

Itis very calming. I just gaze in amazement. It is like a cool drink of water to a hot, overwhelmed brain.

So true. Noise pollution is one of the curses of our modern society.

Gorgeous shots too!

Silence is part of life, which we all need. A silence after the hustle and bustle of the city, a silence after the jarring music ends, a silence softer the thunder n storm stops.. They are beautiful, enjoyable silences, just like snow.

Beautiful pics! I agree - we need periods of silence in our life, to slow down, to recover, to focus on what is truly important, to recharge ourselves.

That said, there's no snow in India. :( The 'slowing down' here is brought in by many factors instead - slow-moving traffic, heavy rains, bandhs and rallies.. etc etc. They all slow down routine life so we get time to introspect. :D

In this fast paced live, I'Ve begun to appreciate the value of silence. Not that I would like to stay alone. But as much as I like to socialize, sometimes I feel like getting away from everyone and sitting at some place, probably a beach, all by myself just to listen to my inner voice, If not, I'm sure I would'Ve gone insane.

I totally agree. We are expecting a big snow storm here this weekend and i have plans to go up to central park early in the morning and just be alone in that special snow-induced silence.
