Just so you know

Silence is a double-edged sword, a prism through which myriad interpretations can be filtered.

It’s a dangerous thing, this business of silence, because in the absence of noise, anything can fill the void. Doubt, remorse, anger, frustration, all those can ravage the void created by silence.

But silence belongs to the incandescent truth; silence is the necessary projection of the self, the needed rest before action can be taken. Silence belongs to the golden rule, it belongs to the scriptures, and it belongs to the epiphany of all that is worth anything in this life.

In silence you find inspiration, repose, reenactment, imagination, succor, joy, enlightenment. Yes, it may sound trite, corny, worn. But in silence is where I find peace, and also a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts.

Yes, silence is thought, and to think is to be.

So, pardon the interruption of your silence and forgive mine. We’ll keep thinking.
