The Story of Silence

So much commotion around, so many hullabaloos: where and how do you hear the signal? I was told in my psychology classes that life is all about detecting the signals, however faint they may be, among the noises. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to reach to others. Sometimes distances too, become noises. Sometimes distances don’t just relate to the physical space between the two souls. Sometimes even two branches of the same tree fail to commune between each other..

Its tough to know when your time has arrived to speak up finally. The best that we can do is observe silently and wait for our moment, the right one, to come and touch us. In fact in the most overwhelming moments of our life, we had nothing to say. Some mystical warmth pervaded inside out and all we could do was to let the emotions flood us and drown us in their depth and momentum.

Many a times we try explaining things. Words hardly make a difference in such situations because no true relationship in life calls for explanations. The other times in fit of rage, we curse our own people and our own decisions. Words do make a difference then, they embitter the associations. The hardest thing to do in such times is to be silent and wait for the high tides to undergo a siesta. Its true that time heals; not only does it heal, it gives opportunities to comprehend the vacuum in you and know the people who can fill it.

Silence speaks a lot. In fact I believe, we must give silence a chance to speak for itself. The more it dominates the space between you and others, the more is the attraction and the more is the resistance to forgetfulness. Mind you, you never forget what you never said. And you never forget what you didn’t listen but you could hear clearly. Experience it and know how the intensity is directly proportional to the silence. Remember those moments of dejection when you sat in a dark corner and promised yourself something?! Or the time when a swiftly approaching force caught your attention and you knew that is what you always wanted to conquer and possess?! That is how your life changes..through the stories of silence!
