With my being almost a half a century old, I care less about trying to impress anyone than ever before. In fact, I find myself wanting to discuss things that I feel are important and light in nature or to discuss nothing at all. I am equally happy to be a part of the silence.

Things have greatly changed in my experience, from just a few years ago. I notice an intensity that seems to scurry some people about in mind; which can be observed through their communications and actions. The pace of things seems to have greatly increased. Even the speed by which younger people process information seems faster than I remember it being; just a decade or so ago.

What I call quietude seems like almost a vacuum to some others. Some people actually seem to need background noise to be able to quiet them down inside and focus. It’s almost seems as if part of their focus has to be held captive; just so they can relax. Much of the world seems to be spinning in a whirlwind and out of control. But there is also a futility that is emerging in consciousness to where people just want the craziness to stop. They sense that the human engine is traveling too fast and is way out of control. The speeding human consciousness is loosing sight of reality; as it has caused itself to be fixated on continuing down the same path into oblivion. It’s like a living car that feels it is traveling so fast that it cannot change its course without experiencing a lot of fear and exuding a tremendous effort.

Few seem to pause and acknowledge the affect of the escalated speed of traveling through life. Even fewer seem to realize the affect of our speeding through life on life itself. The simple and natural systems of Creation have been altered and damaged; as Creation has been forced to endure mankind’s inhuman nature.

But all of the insane compulsions that propel one on a fast forward path can cease; as we let that be so. There is a place that we each may return to that is complete, perfect and still. No one is disallowed to share in perfect peace. Once peace in felt and begins to be known, it can never be completely forgotten. Always remember the peace. It is within you!
