Stop. Wait. Listen.
Do you hear that sound?
That deafening sound of Nothing.

Stop. Wait. Look.
Do you see the sky?
Black, and vast. Filled with stars.

Stop. And Wait.
For you never know what you might miss during the constant noise and overwhelming visual assault of the modern world.

Stop. Wait.
Appreciate the quiet of nature. The calm of the empty world around you.
While the hustle and bustle of the present day, and things that shouldn't matter go on around you,
Stop.

For when you are caught up in contemporary problems, you tend to forget the most fundamental needs a human has.

To relax. To feel. And to love.
All things can be accomplished by one thing. You have to stop, and put aside all that isn't completely necessary. Do things that you love, and that you know will calm you. You are not made to be a machine. You are not made to have no rest. You need rest, and comfort. And peace.
