On Quietness

Those able to enjoy the snow (as opposed to sleeping on luggage at Gare du Nord) notice a magical thing about fresh falls: the quietness. The real silence. And for some reason, the ease of connection with fellow walkers and the acuity of observation when noticing birds and plants. Some quietness is good for our soul, is grounding and can bring out the best of our humanity.

Unless you are stuck at Gare du Nord. In which case a loud tannoy announcing a real train making a real departure would be refreshing.

Grab some quietness today.
