Silence ...

Does it completely exist? Not sure it does, maybe some of us will hear it sooner than others. Music is a very large part being (or at least for me), always has been, not sure it always will be. But then once again what is music? Sounds created and put together that seem to bring forth thoughts and emotions inside ones-self.

Such sounds may be memories...think about it. Ever remembered a nifty song in your head, as you hear it play out. How about a memory of place or experience? For me the ocean brings forth the sound of the wind and birds flying low in the wind with the incredible sound of the sea coming forward to the beach bringing sand and surf to my feet. The sound of peace. The never-ending smoothness repeated over and over. A constant reminder of the power it all holds.

Think about your silence...do you hear your own blood rush through your body? The reminder of life. Even in serious times of silence if one listens hard enough inside it can be heard. Sound of movement.

Maybe silence is the sound of peace within our self. Those sounds which soothes us in all moments. Rain falling upon trees, white noise of city life, the ocean bringing its power up onto the beach, a river flowing freely over rock and soil in its path, music with its beauty in all its various sounds. One can never truly know another’s peaceful choice of sounds, but we can respect one another’s opinion. Life is not always about agreeing, but accepting.

Silence and music are pieces of each of us. As a unique person they affect each of us differently. Each moment or piece puts forth a different feeling or image that you have created to fit it. Don't forget, no one else has that exact feeling. Enjoy all the variances of it.

Life moves forth with the unknown lying ahead, enjoy what you have and hear.

Peace.
