Practice of Stillness – Christine Valters Paintner 

“Our world is filled with outer noise: traffic, television, radio, phones ringing or e-mail notifications dinging, our friends and family chattering away, the dog barking. The practice of stillness is in part to seek out ways to cultivate silence around us.”
