And echoed
In the wells of silence"

The Sounds Of Silence
I took a walk last night through downtown Elm Grove.
The streets were bare and the sounds of silence were
in the air like a Simon and Garfunkel song. The lack
of sound made me think of a lot of things. To me,
silence is a way of expressing without words, a feeling
that goes beyond the normal realm of things. With the
sound of silence, the screen of privacy is removed by
an icy exhaling breath. It allows us to see rainbows in
spider webs, or to smell wildflowers as if they were
soaked in exotic perfumes. The sound of silence soothes
our emotions, creating texture for our dreams in shapes
and colors otherwise unseen. Most people are afraid of
silence. I’m not sure why that is? Maybe it’s the emptiness
or loneliness but I made use of this time to think about
my life as it is right now. I thought about the strangeness
in the way ones life can so easily change from day to day.
I thought about all the lives I’ve touched throughout my
life and wondered what difference I might have made in
theirs – and if I did you know what it took? Just a little
touch of kindness.
