Beauty of Silence

To sit in silence, How I forgot what to do in it. I wonder if we need some noise to drown out that buzzing in our ears. That ringing in our ear that is left over. When the phone's off, the speaker dies, yet that silent screech is heard from ear to ear. How noisy silence has become.

Maybe that ringing is the celebration of our ears to finally take a break. Electronics replaced by the soothing sound of the wind, the lullaby of the rain hitting the window. How pleasant those sounds are. Sounds that can only be appreciated in silence. When was the last time you were in silence.

Not to sleep, but to think. The silence that allows you to be in the moment. To let yourself be intertwined with the world around you. We've come to fear silence. Preferring a storm heard over a speaker, then to sit silently listening from shelter.

The silence scares me as well. I don't know what thoughts might come with it. Because I haven't known silence for long. So once I'm in it's presence, my mind finally feels its opportunity to fully manifest. I guess because it has missed silence, it's old friend.
