RE: Quiet Thoughts on a Quiet Day... About Quiet and Stillness
I get it. I think it's two sides that make balance, but there are positive and negative expression of each side. I like excitement but excitement which is malleable, that we are able to add or subtract from. I like finding peace inside of chaos. I like being an extrovert to challenge myself and play with the world around me, but behind all that I'm just like you!
What I find really challenging is that nosie of commerce that you mention. It doesn't seem to move for anyone or anything, like a black hole. I think things like sports to when you are the only one who isn't into it. If there are another 10% or so who aren't into it it's less uncomfortable
That raises the interesting point of having some kind of group or "tribe" of like-kind minds to relate to. I do find chaos and loudness a little easier to navigate when I am there with someone else who more or less relates to my "predicament."
On the whole, I just seek the quiet spots of life... the "excitement" so many seem drawn to leaves me with a sort of "adrenaline hangover" I'd just as well avoid...
