“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Silence hurts. Silence comforts. Silence teaches. Silence breathes.
City dwellers, parents of young children crave silence like a drug.
The loud silence of a newly empty nest screams through the hallway.
Silent night, holy night.
Middle of the night silence wraps too tight around your wakeful soul.
The painful sound of a lover’s long ambiguous silence never quiets.
Silence stretches between two longing hearts, connecting them no matter how far.
Sit in the silent space a loved one once occupied. Let it envelope you.
Silence sometimes speaks louder than words.
Silence stands in when there simply are no words.
Silence feels heavy when it carries the weight of unspoken words.
Silence whispers, I need you.
Silence is golden when you hold a special secret.
The silent treatment feels powerful yet treats no one.
Silence vibrates at a frequency only our bodies perceive.
Debussy said, “Music is the silence between the notes.”
Creation emerges from silence. ~
