Understanding Silence.

Goldfinch60



In life we talk to others,

Explaining our lives

But then we can be silent.

As our lives move forward

Those silences are important

As they bring knowledge within us.

In those silences we move forward

Bringing wisdom to our lives,

But many do not understand

And it shows that maybe

Those that do not understand,

Do not understand our silence,

Will probably not understand,

Not understand our words.

          I always enjoyed the sound of silence. I think that I do understand silence better than words. Well said Andy

            Some serious words of wisdom here. Silence is quite often underappreciated I think, and even more often misunderstood.

            Thank you for the read Sir Andy.

            • Goldfinch60

              Very true words Nicholas, thank you.

                The video is not showing Andy. But in the silence is where the answers are. 😉

                • Goldfinch60

                  Shame about the video, it is Four Minutes Thirty three seconds by John Cage.
                  Silence can be very special AP.

                  When we stop speaking and listen, we grow. I listened to the sounds of silence and enjoyed it.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Cassie, yes that silence is so important.
