I used to fear it more than solitude. Silence: the more we evade it, the more we need it. It is better to make time for it than to hear the voices in our heads! Silence eventually became a friend.

You list silence as your least fear among the three... because you've already discovered that it's nothing to fear. Silence is a friend. Thanks J!

Good for you, it is a blessing to find a sanctuary for one's self. I believe that my greatest fear is solitude, 2nd is darkness. In darkness I fear being vulnerable to what i can't see -those that are accustomed to the dark. As for silence, I agree with you that we must all create that time and place for it. Even Jesus himself withdrew from the crowds. My favorite place of silence is in my garden, especially when i'm touching the soil. I also like sitting by myself on the deck, doing nothing but just staring at the trees. I like being in a window seat in an airplane. I look at the clouds and think. OR i just go to the powder room and lock myself in. and yeah! the hot tub... Adults need quiet time just as much as the little ones. It renews us in many ways, and helps us be better and more peaceful. Thank you for the reminder. Hi Jef, I really like this post. Good for you, it is a blessing to find a sanctuary for one’s self.
