Here in the DC area, we don’t get much silence in our lives. Traffic noise, planes flying overhead, electronics buzzing all around us… there just isn’t much quiet when you live in the city. That’s one of the reasons why we love camping so much – even though it takes a good few hours to shake off that frantic energy that seems to engulf everything around here. Once we get about an hour outside of town I can start to feel my shoulders relax a little, and by the time we park at the campsite and pour our first glass of wine, I can finally slow down enough to be more in the moment.
Although sometimes I have to remind myself that we don’t have to fill every second with some sort of activity – we’ve settled into a nice routine for our camping weekends. And a big part of that is enjoying the spaces between the activities and enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with being parked in the woods with only a few people around.
Watch this to experience it for yourself… and then do yourself a favor and get out there and find some quiet space of your own. It is good for the soul.
