Silence is golden and rejuvenating in the Smoky Mountains]]> Posted in Silence

Silence is what I got when I went up to Look Rock to catch sunrise Saturday morning.  If your life is like mine, it is filled with all kinds of devices like mine that chirp, beep, and buzz.   It was glorious to step out of my car into the pre-dawn morning and hear absolutely nothing.  It was so glorious it was stunning – and with a short walk across Foothills Parkway the sweet smell of pines from the Smokies quickly overtook me mingled with the earthy smell of forest.

Best word to describe it: rejuvenating.
