I realized today. The one thing I frequently seek in my life is silence.

when I find a place or a moment in time that is silent, that is when I feel the most revelry, like ear shattering fissure in time.

I think the reason why skiing resonates with me more than anything, is the silent moments I receive. These are the moments I want to find again and again.

This is also why I love living on the island.

I don’t think I am unique in my request for silence, but I think I am unique in acknowledging how silence is the one thing in my life that keeps me together. I imagine that the need for silence might be a universal human request. Though I think mankind has long forgotten silence.

My porch is frequently silent. now I understand why my heart grows with every minute I spend on my porch.

the most silence I have ever experienced is in the mountains, surrounded by snow. especially up the volcanoes. the silence is deafening. and it is the most beautiful thing on this earth. silence.
