blaring, dinging, playing . . .to be unplugged,

they know it. It has become their lifeline.

How many times have you heard, or maybe youve
even said, I keep the TV on for noise. How

in their ears? Unplugged is a foreign idea to
many.

We have become programmed to respond like robots
when our cell phones beep, we get in the car and
the first thing we do is turn on the radio, we

it.

Its as if we cannot function without some device
making noise in the background to fill the void
of silence . . . being unplugged is like cutting
off the supply of oxygen we need to breathe.

But, just like too much of the wrong food can
lead to an unhealthy life, too much stimulation
from being plugged in all the time can deaden
your sense to hearing the beautiful natural
sounds.

Ive been reminded of the amazing sounds of
silence from being unplugged this week. One
evening as we watched the sunset on the river,
the hoot owls began calling to one another. It
was magical, it was breathtaking.

No one in the group gathered around the campfire
dared to speak . . . we waited in silence for the
next hoots from the owls in the trees above us
and then held our breath until the owls across
the river answered.

And, oh, when I hear the coyotes . . . I am
transfixed on their yelps and howls and so
grateful that their glorious symphony wasnt
drowned out by the noise of TV or radio.

technological world but, taking the time to do
this every now and again will be rewarding and
fulfilling and entertaining.
