the wonders of silence penetrate my being. it's as if another reality exists there. Like taking a vacation, silence is a state in which people travel to, not where they live. the ironic thing is that silence is like unchartered territory, there is so much to discover once you're there, no one would want to leave if they experienced it. the sounds that seem to exist only in silence are gifts. then come the thoughts and the supreme level of consideration of all things. it's called being present. and in this state, reality is sublime. one can almost reach out and touch the sounds that seem to make themselves known in this space. sad thing is, we travel there only on special occasions but it's always only a deep breath away. we live life at the speed of light, which doesn't allow us the time to enjoy the sounds of the leaves rustling as the wind pushes its way through them or most simply the sound of our own breathing. we are alive, we are vibrant as is everything that surrounds us. bask in a few moments of silence and take it in.
