I loved your vivid description of trying to find peace in your noisy Watertown neighborhood with your windows open in the summertime and the contrast with the perfect sacred stillness of Chaco Canyon. It is a real challenge to find quiet in the noisy environment of city neighborhoods, and I agree, that we are in trouble if we are hoping that external conditions will provide the conditions for inner peacefulness. It was a good reminded about the importance of regulating my state from within and cultivating independence from circumstance, not only when it comes to noise, but in relationship to everything that life throws at us. Thank you.

Like when you listen to a train Listen for the silence between the sounds. That helps me come into stillness. I do this when the kids are fighting or I feel overwhelmed by the noise around me. I do it at cocktail parties and some days just to practice. And I always am stimulated to practice when I hear a train!
