So, if you are
too tired to speak,
sit next to me,
because I, too,
am fluent in silence.

If there’s one positive thing to come out of covid isolation, it’s this awakening to stillness. To the silence. People are talking about how long it’s taken them to become quiet. To move away from the incessant mind chatter. Needing to go here, go there, achieve this and that. Constantly running. Now it’s time to surrender to this moment no matter how imperfect or difficult. Time for silence. And allow a new consciousness to emerge. And the theory is is that great art emerges at these times. What a bonus!

Thank you, Glenys. I guess this is what the monks and nuns of old were seeking when they shut themselves away from the world. Your quote is very comforting.

It takes time to become still. To listen deeply. In the silence you can find truth.

Thankyou for alerting us to the silence of the universe ... and to its value!
(reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel's, ' Sounds of Silence'.)

Oh I love the silence. I am one of the only people I know who was happily shut down alone in my house for Covid. I loved being only responsible to myself. I could manage everything in calm quiet.

Me too Marie. I am face blind and suffer from social anxiety disorder and live a reclusive life normally. Lockdown is difficult for me because of the inability to visit my offspring and grandchildren but in general it's a lot like my normal life. I do feel deeply for the social butterflies of the world. I am deeply grateful for my love of crafting as my hands are always busy with my large number of stashes!

I love this, the thought that one mightn’t be waiting to die, when one is waiting to live!
Wonderful!
