Time + Silence = Tranformation
There was a
time when ten minutes of silence would have been excruciating for me to
bear. For in this silence I heard deafening
screams. I felt immeasurable suffering.
At that time, my mind broke.
Unknowingly, I became a traveller on the road to wholeness; to the Self. I had no idea what this undertaking entailed
nor did I know what it was called when my journey began. I was asleep.
In no way am
I claiming that I have arrived at my destination. I think my life will be a lifelong
journey. How is it possible to ever stop
learning; to stop growing emotionally and spiritually?
Now the
silence beckons me. For, in silence,
lies transformation; a connection to others, to spirituality, to the Self. In fact, there are times when I have to MAKE
myself leave the silence and interact with the world. I have to keep my life balanced. I have to try to stay centered. It is in this state where I find the most
serene peace.
My goal is to
not allow negativity take away my peace.
This is much easier said than done.
But, I do believe I can accomplish this with determined practice.
Peace.

Silence is SO underestimated, because we all want to be heard. But there's so much more value is listening or just appreciating your surroundings.
