Hankering Silence!

Silence has taken a lot of forms in my life.
Silence meant lack of energy.
Silence meant lack of creativity.
Silence meant wasting time.
I live close by to a lively road.
Silence at my home is next to impossible any hour of the day.
Silence meant sketching a crime.
Silence is sometimes the most violent violin.
Silence is as threating as an ice burg to an Indian.

Staying away from home gave me the room to experience silence. And I learned to relish silence. It gives you peace of mind. You can focus better. Your ears are just running the basic functionality but not pumping multiple feeds to your brain. Your brain is just waiting for your orders now. You can meditate easily and are lot more a clam person. I rushed to office at 7:00 AM to give a presentation. And after the presentation ended when I pushed back in my chair I realized and had no thoughts in my mind, I experience a calmness creep. With No one on the floor and absolute silence, I just sat relaxed and enjoyed the silence. May be in a plusher chaotic life it is nice to have a silence break.

Unfortunately “noise can enter silence! Silence cannot enter noise!”

Flip-side, if eyes are not on watch or if I am uncertain of things that can happen, a tiny-winy noise is enough to trigger a “take to your heels” fight back mechanism in me. Sleeping light in absolute silence! An open tap is enough to wake me up with a bad jerk and irk my soul.
