In conversation with Silence

After my conversation with silence I realized what was missing in life. I never knew that silence was so satisfying. Unlike the people she listened to me patiently. Not only she gave a listening ear but she also guided me to introspection. She told me that when all the voices in the world compete to be listened, she stands in the corner staring at them very well aware of the fact that one of them might win the competition but will not be satisfied, and she embraced me after saying that. I felt the warmth in my mind. My mind which was so restless, rested in her arms like a baby, and she made sure that mind gets some rest like a caring mother.

In the process she also made me meet myself when I was so busy and interested in meeting others. And to my surprise I was charmed by myself after the meeting. She made me realize that the things I am searching outside lies within me. Like a true lover she made me realize my true potential. Otherwise up till now I was just involved in increasing the noise pollution.

In the beginning, to be very frank, I felt a bit uncomfortable in striking a conversation with Silence and fortunately she took the charge and led the conversation. In the process she revealed that she and Love are best of friends, and how Love feels enliven only in her presence. She also shared that love feels uncomfortable when a lot of Words come marching towards him. I felt the irony. Her statement made me realize that how lame are we, that we grope for words when they are not even necessary sometimes. She appreciated my listening but in the end also warned from becoming a recluse.

I told her that I like spending time with her and also asked her to bring her friend Love next time to join the conversation.

Trying to find my refuge in Silence.
