There is so much white noise, a constant background noise that drowns out other sounds with meaningless and distracting commotion or chatter.
When my girls were little we would play in the parks. I'd have them sit on a bench, close their eyes and tell me what they hear. When your eyes are capturing everything around you it becomes your primary sense and you miss the sounds of nature. Close your eyes ... listen.
Busy schedules, constantly running, a cell phone, television, music, phone calls, text messages, and social media. It's all consuming.
Busyness is not a badge of honor, it's a life out of control.
