Nature Loves Quiet Sundays (NLQS)
Nature Loves Quiet Sundays is a slogan by J.P. Sank. It is an environmental proposal designed to please both Left and Right. It begins like this:
Can you guess why Mother Nature would love a quiet Sunday? Imagine: Nobody is driving around shopping. Nobody is dropping off and picking up children all over town. Nobody is mowing lawns or whacking weeds. Hardly anybody is traveling to or from work. Some people go for walks in their neighborhood. Others pedal around on two wheels. Many attend a local house of religion or philosophy.
Now please recall the Great Silence of 2020. Did you hear it? After the 15 Days to Slow the Spread, it got phenomenally quiet. I remember stepping outside of work one day, near the intersection of two four-lane roads. The immediate area has dozens of stores adjoining vast parking lots, but it was dead quiet. Traffic was ultra-light. The parking lots were almost empty. It was so 360° still that I listened more closely, and, sure enough, even the traffic far away was nearly silent!
My own inner noise then seemed loud. I took a minute to shush that hubbub. What a marvel it was, this great silence!
