More on quiet

Today, I was working with my family outside, cleaning irrigation ditches. It was hard work and we were talking and maybe mumbling under our breathe. Suddenly, I realized that it was silent and quiet. I didn't even hear the birds singing. It was an moment to reflect upon. I enjoy talking as most of my family will atest to, but I did enjoy the silence and quiet of a moment.

Shortly, after that the moment was gone and the birds were singing and we were talking to each other again. I don't know if any of you have had that type of experience but it certainly seems to be a moment of reflection.
