Sound

We are afraid of silence. Most animals fear noise, but we have desensitized ourselves into being the only animal that fears silence. We need to move, we need to turn something on, we need to produce and validate and compete to be comfortable. Silence is the not moving, not getting done, not, not, not, of our existence, and we are frightened of it. But silence still exist. It means we must be brave to go into silence and still be a person in the world of noise, the superficial or laid-over-the-top world. The only thing harder than becoming aware of silence-world while dwelling in the world of the distracted, is to dwell in the world of the distracted and never become aware of the world of silence. To believe that one IS the world of the distracted and never venture to find deeper is devastation of the spirit.
