In our daily lives, there is hardly any time when we are unplugged – there is always some kind of electronic noise stimulating our sense of sound. . . except maybe when we are in a deep sleep.

TV, radio, phones, iPods, computers constantly blaring, dinging, playing . . .to be unplugged, for some, is to be disconnected from reality – as they know it. It has become their lifeline.

How many times have you heard, or maybe you’ve even said, “I keep the TV on for noise.” How many people walk or jog with a headphones stuck in their ears?

Unplugged is a foreign idea to many.

We aren’t very comfortable with silence, just as we aren’t too comfortable with being alone.

All this constant stimulation from these electronic devices keeps us in a state of urgency and over-stimulation . . . we actually become more disconnected . . .

We have become programmed to respond like robots when our cell phones beep, we get in the car and the first thing we do is turn on the radio, we keep the tv on even if we don’t sit down to watch it.

It’s as if we cannot function without some device making noise in the background to fill the void of silence . . . being unplugged is like cutting off the supply of oxygen we need to breathe.

But, just like too much of the wrong food can lead to an unhealthy life, too much stimulation from being plugged in all the time can deaden your sense to hearing the beautiful natural sounds.

Take a walk unplugged – without your iPod stuck in your ear. Drive to work unplugged – without the radio blasting music and commercials. Keep the TV unplugged – don’t turn it on the minute you walk into the room.

Someday!

I’ve been reminded of the amazing sounds of silence from being unplugged this week. One evening as we watched the sunset on the river, the hoot owls began calling to one another. It was magical, it was breathtaking.

No one in the group gathered around the campfire dared to speak . . . we waited in silence for the next hoots from the owls in the trees above us and then held our breath until the owls across the river answered.

We wouldn’t have heard those beautiful creatures if a radio was blaring or cell phones were beeping.

Of course, it’s not practical to remain unplugged . . . after all, we do exist in this technological world; but, taking the time to do this every now and again will be rewarding and fulfilling and entertaining.
