listening to the silent song

there are times when i sense that everything around me is too loud. or that everyone is always rushing ahead. our generation feasts on the abundance of the activities that one can do, with or without companions needed. it becomes automatic for us to be caught up with the latest trend in technology – 1gb space for email, mobile phones with cameras & mp3 players, ipod nano, sony psp, etc. a lot of times, we jump from one thing to the next, without considering if we really need (or even want) to do those things. there’s not a moment of silence to be appreciated since if we are not engaged in constant conversation (mind you, this is not necessarily communication), we busy ourselves with the television, the radio, the road (gimiks), or the computer. i admit i also let myself go with the flow of all the things i mentioned above. But i feel so different, in the sense that i am more accustomed to spending a lot of quiet moments (usually alone), and doing things slowly but surely.

no new posts for a while? yeah. i’ve been taking some moments of “silence,” trying to rid myself of the unnecessary activities so that i could listen and understand THE voice. i’m even shutting my brain off. i don’t want to think anymore and analyze about what’s happening, or what’s going to happen. i just want to live one day at a time. i need to quiet down so that i may see Him more clearly, follow Him more nearly, and love Him more dearly.

so no trivial entries for now. unless i can't help it. =) the little mindless stories that i post are actually part of what i want to share to all those who read my blog. but right now, i need to focus on listening.
