What do you do when the silence comes?
Do you try to break it with laughter?
or do you think it is something that needs to be fixed?
Why don't we see silence as much a gift as noise?
each have their place.
neither greater than the other.
Do your ears tune themselves to the creaky building?
or the clinking of silverware on plates?
Do you find that you must talk to yourself out loud to compensate?
do you write all of your random thoughts in a journal so you don't drown in the ear splitting soundless ness.
Why don't you breathe.
take a second
and
breathe.
The world is full of sounds
of thoughts
of distractions
take a second
and
breathe.
And when you breathe
pray.
Now not the normal prayer
Dear God
or
Hail Mary
Pray in the silence
empty your mind
give yourself the freedom to not think
Once you are free from thought
ask God to come in.
He'll take it from there.
