What is silence? Do we know what it is? All we know and hear is breaking of silence. But what do we break when we break silence? Is silence related to space? Do they have a common string that can tell us more than what we know? I try to find the answers but end up with more questions.
Silence is a language. It is a language that is universally known and spoken. Silence is even used in the language we speak everyday. Between every sentence we speak, there is silence. What does this signify? Do we unknowingly link 2 sentences through silence? We call this a pause.
Silence is an effective way to express. When someone stops talking to you, you feel deserted. You feel the force of silence when it is around you. We sometimes deliberately get silent. We go in our shell. I am not a therapist; but I know that when I go in my shell, I close my mind to outside world and open it for thinking. I create a space for myself through silence.
Silence can be considered as meditation. It provides the opportunity to introspect and understand why, when and what. Although we haven't understood the strength of silence, we know that it is powerful. Silence brings calmness and peace. It speaks a lot of things without saying a word. Silence sure has a deeper meaning than what we think.
We hear silence and we listen to the sound of silence. We don’t hear anything else when silence speaks. This is because silence is the loudest sound that we know. It muffles every other sound and it communicates with us everytime we pause and think. Silence has a lot to say but only if we are ready to listen to it.
Silence to me is a form of an unspoken communication and it is powerful.
