This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net here's what I'm thinking about this weekend.
Speaker A:We fill every moment with noise.
Speaker A:Music, podcasts, tv.
Speaker A:There's always something on in the background.
Speaker A:I'm so guilty of this.
Speaker A:Why, if we're honest, and I hope we can be here, I think it's because quiet time can be scary, because it's full of thoughts and feelings and questions that are harder to say aloud.
Speaker A:We're drowning out what's really happening around us as we distract ourselves from our scars.
Speaker A:But when we never let it get quiet, we never get to hear what's happening under all that noise.
Speaker A:So here's my question.
Speaker A:What are you avoiding?
Speaker A:Take it any way you want.
Speaker A:Let me know what you come up with on jamesabrown.net on that note, I'm James A.
Speaker A:Brown, and as always, be well.
