As you read this, focus on some of the individual letters that form these words.   Notice how each letter is a white shape that stands out from the blackness of the screen you read from.

While you continue to read, listen carefully to what you are hearing.

Can you make out the background humming of your computer?
What other sounds can you hear in the immediate space around you?

Now listen only to the sounds that come from the greatest distance.
Spend some time trying to identify each distant sound as it occurs.

And there it is!
…in those moments of quietness between them:  the sound of peace.

NOTES
The sound of peace can be found everywhere, but it is rarely noticed in the hustle and bustle of daily life.  I need some help describing this sound of peace, so a description of what you ‘heard’ will be much appreciated if entered below.
