Used to be, one of my favorite ways of criticizing the things I involved myself in - especially online discussions - was to try to measure the "signal-to-noise ratio". More signal, less noise, definitely. ~ I loved this post.

I have a lot of noise in my life. I find yoga relaxing and it brings stillness. Thank you and welcome Paul for your lovely post. I have a lot of noise in my life.

This is a fabulous post! I also find noise in this generalized sense to be a distraction. I have to make the effort to take the quiet time for important things, and then when I'm subjected to noise it isn't such a problem for me. Welcome, Paul. This is a fabulous post!

The Lord counsels us to "be still, and know that I am God." In our busy lives, it is so helpful to quiet out minds, still our hearts, and experience the pure love of God and the inspiration of the spirit. We talk a lot about prayer and scripture study in the Church but perhaps don't emphasize enough the power of meditation to help us find peace, solace, and comfort.

Except one, great time at a temple dedication in Brazil when the entire temple seemed to be filled with heavenly choirs singing. That is a noise I would like to hear again sometime.

When I used to work as a security guard at the Mesa Temple, I enjoyed that I was able to spend hours of quality time alone in the Temple. Even though I was "working", I was able to enjoy the spirit of the Temple and the accompanying quite and solitude. Welcome to M*, my friend. Thank you for sharing this powerful message.
