Quietly In Silence
Silence.
Can you hear it?
Do you enjoy it?
I do. It’s quiet in here. All I can hear is the ticking clock and the occasional sound the blinds make as they dance with the breeze.
I can hear my inner voice, loud and clear in this silence.
I can listen to my thoughts so well, such is the clarity this stillness bestows.
And I for one, love this silence. I love reflecting in this soothing quietness.
I am enjoying this lull three days a week as my little one is at his daycare during that time.
I do have a laundry list of chores and errands to run but now is not the time.
Sitting down and relishing the stillness is one of my favorite activities which I was deprived of the past couple of years.
So, here I am, writing and reading in the intervals when I’m done with immersing myself in the silence, much like enjoying a conversation in between sipping a hot cup of tea, before the little people of the house arrived.
Well, I have a feeling that the racket my little guys create add more sweetness to this silence I savor.
How do you feel about silence? Do you crave it as much as I do? Please share with me.
