As I wake up early before the rest of the family gets up, the only sound I hear is the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.
As my children sit engrossed in a specific task or section of work there is a brief moment thick with concentration, where I can breath and enjoy a moment of silence.
As I wonder through the house, checking on my sleeping children - the only sound I hear is their breathing.
As Sean heads out the door on the way to the beach and the door closes ....... silence.
Those precious moments are rare with 4 children- but I have realised that I need to find these moments.
Search for them.
Moments that I need every day.
Within my day, I can find a moment, a few minutes and if I am lucky - an hour - to enjoy the silence.
A man is known by the silence he keeps.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Where do you find that moment?
