Dropping into the silence to be present with what meets us there is a life-long strategy for living open to what's what, what's happening and what is called for here, now. In the silence over time, we avoid the distractions/diversions/smoke/dust/haze that prevents us from being here, now doing what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done through all conditions, situations and circumstances that we meet along the way. And we are able to attend what needs our vital attention moment to moment in being who we are and doing what is ours to do--often what we do best and enjoy doing most--by being shanghaied or waylaid by the noise of the world.

In the silence, we see, hear, know and understand where we are and what needs to be done about it, and with practice we can do this with one breath walking wherever we are going. Simply inhale for a count of five, pause for a count of five and exhale for a count of five. You have take a Silent Break from your life and given yourself a count of fifty opportunity to shift your perspective, remember where you are and what you need to do about it here, now. And you might be amazed at what a lift this gives your life. Do it throughout each day and observe the difference it makes.
